The Bellevue Police Department is partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration as part of the nationwide prescription drug "Take-Back" initiative. We want your expired, unused and unwanted medications, including prescription drugs.
On Saturday, Sept. 26, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Bellevue Police will have three locations throughout the city set up to collect controlled, non-controlled and over-the-counter medications. No identification will be required or requested. There will be a uniformed police officer available to assist you. Unused and unwanted medications will be collected at the following locations:
- City Hall, Police Lobby, 450 110th Ave. NE;
- 15600 NE Eighth Street, next to Crunch Fitness; and
- Factoria Police Substation, 3915 Factoria Blvd. SE, near Nordstrom Rack.
Individuals are encouraged to remove identifying information from prescription labels. The DEA offers more information and other collection sites. Due to the hazardous nature of some items, the following will not be accepted: intravenous solutions, injectables, syringes, or medical waste.
