SUMMARY:National Drug Take-Back Day
LOCATION:Various locations
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nTwice a year the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office joins law enforcemen
 t agencies nationwide to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances
  from our nation’s medicine cabinets. The Drug Take-Back Day provides an op
 portunity for the public to surrender expired, unwanted, or unused pharmace
 utical controlled substances and other medications for destruction. These d
 rugs are a potential source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable r
 isk to public health and safety. The DEA holds the National Drug Take-Back 
 events in April and October of each year.\n \n The next scheduled event is 
 on Saturday, October 23, 2021, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.\n \n The Sheriff’s Off
 ice will accommodate collections at three sites in the county:\n \n Sheriff
 ’s Office Headquarters\n 200 Jefferson County Parkway\n Golden, CO 80401\n 
 \n Marshdale Elementary School\n 26663 N Turkey Creek Rd\n Evergreen, CO 80
 439\n (In the round-about)\n \n Dakota Ridge High School\n 13399 W Coal Min
 e Avenue\n Littleton, CO 80127\n (In the west parking lot)\n \n Facts About
  the Event \n This one-day effort is intended to bring national focus to th
 e issue of increasing pharmaceutical controlled substance abuse.\n\n - The 
 program is anonymous\n - Prescription and over-the-counter solid dosage med
 ications, (tablets and capsules) are accepted\n - Intravenous solutions, in
 jectables, needles, and oxygen containers will not be accepted\n - Illicit 
 substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine are not a part of this init
 iative\n - The prescriptions should be removed from the original containers
  and placed in a plastic bag prior to dropping off\n\nMedication Disposal D
 rop Boxes\n The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office has installed four safe d
 isposal sites for residents to drop off unused or expired household medicat
 ions. Secure medication drop boxes are now available at the following locat
 ions:\n\n - Sheriff’s Office Lobby, 200 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden\n 
 - Jail Lobby, 200 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden\n - South Precinct, 1113
 9 Bradford Road, Littleton\n - Mountain Precinct, 4990 County Highway 73, E
 vergreen\n\nDrop boxes are the best option for families and individuals to 
 safely dispose of potentially harmful medications. Prescription medications
 , over-the-counter medications, and vitamins can be disposed of in the drop
 box. However, Sharps items, chemotherapy medication, and marijuana products
  may not be disposed of in drop boxes. Healthcare facility waste is also no
 t permitted.\n \n The average American household contains four pounds of pr
 escription and over-the-counter medications. Sheriff Jeff Shrader explains 
 “this excess of medications enables opportunities for misuse and abuse, whi
 ch can have very serious consequences. If medication is taken incorrectly o
 r by people it was not intended for, it could even lead to death.”\n \n The
  Sheriff’s Office obtained its drop boxes through the Colorado Household Me
 dication Take-Back Program, administered by the Colorado Department of Publ
 ic Health & Environment. Medication collected in the boxes is securely 
 packaged and shipped off-site, where it is converted to renewable energy.\n
  \n What to do with items that cannot be accepted: \n \n Household Needles/
 Sharps\n Handle with Care! Skin punctures may transmit blood-borne infectio
 ns.\n \n Disposal Options:\n Sharps Collection Programs can be found here.\
 n\n -  cdphe.colorado.gov/local-sharps-collection-programs\n -  safeneedled
 isposal.org/states/colorado/\n\nMail-in Sharps Containers (some pharmacies 
 and websites sell sharps containers with mail-in labels, ensuring proper tr
 eatment and disposal. There is an added cost for this service).\n \n Proper
  Trash Disposal\n Never put a container of sharps in with recyclables. Shar
 ps are not recyclable and not only can they pose an infection risk to worke
 rs at recycling facilities, but they can also render whole batches of recyc
 lables unusable.\n \n Used needles/sharps should never be placed loosely in
  the trash or flushed down the toilet.\n \n Use a sharps container purchase
 d from a pharmacy or other source, or use a strong plastic container (HDPE 
 plastic with #2 recycling symbol) with a screw-top lid. Used laundry deterg
 ent bottles work well. Never use paper or plastic milk jugs. They can punct
 ure. Never use glass containers. They can break and make the hazard worse.\
 n\n - Containers of sharps should be clearly labeled as “Sharps” or "Biohaz
 ard Waste.”\n - Once filled, the container should be firmly sealed (tape th
 e lid) to prevent spillage.\n - Store the sealed sharps container away from
  children and pets.\n - Place the sealed sharps container in the trash on t
 he day it gets picked up or taken to a landfill.\n\nChemotherapy Drugs\n If
  you’ve undergone treatment with radioactive pharmaceuticals for a disease 
 like thyroid cancer, some wastes you produce may be contaminated with resid
 ual radiation. Certain wastes may have to be temporarily stored before plac
 ing them out with your trash. You and your caregiver should closely follow 
 instructions provided by your doctor about waste disposal.\n \n The Compreh
 ensive Cancer Center Pharmacy at Saint Joseph Hospital accepts chemotherapy
  drugs for disposal. Call (303) 318-3490 for more information.\n \n Persona
 l Care Products\n Most personal care products can be disposed in the trash,
  but some local household hazardous waste programs may accept these product
 s along with household cleaning products. Contact your local program direct
 ly, or contact your city/county government for program contact information.
 \n \n Thermometers and Other Mercury-Containing Devices\n Some local househ
 old hazardous waste programs will accept thermometers and other mercury-con
 taining devices. Contact your local program directly, or contact your city/
 county government for program contact information.\n \n All Colorado Ace Ha
 rdware stores and other Colorado businesses participate in a program to rec
 ycle mercury-containing thermostats. Visit Thermostat-Recycle.org for a com
 plete list of locations.\n \n Also, Holy Cross Energy and Alpine Bank have 
 teamed up to accept compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) for recycling at seve
 ral locations in the Vail, Glenwood Springs and Aspen areas. Ace Hardware s
 tores will accept them as well.\n \n Medical Tools and Supplies\n Some char
 ities will accept medical tools and supplies in good, usable condition. Pro
 ject CURE is one such charity. Call (303) 792-0729 for more information.\n 
 \n Bloody or Infectious Waste\n Soiled bandages, dressings and disposable s
 heets should be placed in securely fastened plastic bags before being place
 d in household trash. Trash containing these potentially infectious wastes 
 should be stored out of the reach of children and pets until it can be pick
 ed up or taken to a landfill.\n \n Marijuana\n Unused marijuana and marijua
 na-infused products that were obtained by an individual for recreational or
  medical use may be disposed of by placing them in household trash or taken
  to a landfill. The marijuana must be rendered unrecognizable and mixed wit
 h other items of trash. Place in the trash on the day it gets picked up or 
 taken to a landfill.\n \n Illicit Drugs\n Contact your local law enforcemen
 t agency for guidance.\n \n Empty Containers\n Empty containers should be r
 ecycled, if possible. Check the lists of acceptable recyclables provided by
  your curbside recycling service or local recycling program. Non-recyclable
  items should be placed in household trash or taken to a landfill. Strike p
 ersonal information (i.e. patient name and prescription number) from prescr
 iption pill bottles before recycling or trashing them.\n  \n\n\n \n  www.je
