Federal guidelines are forcing the Redding Police Department to remove the safe medication disposal kiosk that’s been next to their station since 2015. Other closed kiosks include those run by Anderson Police and the Sheriff’s Office in Shasta Lake City and Burney. Many pharmacies can accept unwanted prescription drugs for disposal. The RPD will still participate in semi-annual Drug Take-Back Days, the next of which will be October 26th in front of City Hall.
