National Prescription Take Back Day – October 24th
October 10, 2020
UPDATE: NOTICE OF CANCELLATION: National Drug Take-Back Day
We have been notified the Alamo Heights Police Department will not be a collection point for unwanted, unused, expired drugs as advertised for October 24, 2020. The US Drug Enforcement Agency has been limited to ten (10) collection points in this region due to the continued COVID threat and has spread collection points around San Antonio.
You may still visit any of these collection points to drop off unwanted drugs regardless of where you reside. The date and time have not changed: Saturday, October 24th, 10am -2pm. For your convenience we have identified the following collection points within ten (10) miles of Alamo Heights:
Hollywood Park Police Department, 2 Mecca Drive, Hollywood Park, Texas
Windcrest Police Department, 8601 Midcrown, San Antonio, Texas
Live Oak Police Department, 8022 Shin Oak, Live Oak, Texas
Northside ISD Police Department, 5619 Grissom Rd, San Antonio, Texas
We regret we were unable to participate as planned and look forward to the possibility of being one of the selected collection points in April 2021. It has been our pleasure to bring this service to the citizens of Alamo Heights, Olmos Park and Terrell Hills and will continue as long as we are selected to be a collection point.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Rick Pruitt, Police Chief Alamo Heights Police Department
