BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Happening this weekend, the Bend Police Department will host a DEA Drug Takeback event.

The department says it's to give citizens a chance to safely dispose of unwanted or unused prescriptions, as flushing old prescriptions can add the drugs to the water table, and throwing them in the garbage could mean they end up in the wrong hands.

The drive-through event will take place in the PD parking lot (555 NE 15th Street) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 25th.

You're encouraged to stop by and keep the community safe through this free event.
