Here are the totals from Saturday’s National Drug Take Back Day event at the Seattle Police Department precincts only. Regional and national figures are still being tabulated. From 10:00 am until 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 28th, people dropped off expired, unwanted or unused prescription medications at the five Seattle Police Department precincts. Here are the numbers:
West Precinct-170.70 pounds
South Precinct-43.55 pounds
East Precinct-67.95 pounds
North Precinct-176.50 pounds
Southwest Precinct-238.45 pounds
Total-697.15 pounds.
This was another great success, and there will be another opportunity again in the fall.
