Summary

The Taos County district attorney's office and Taos Police Department will host a prescription-drug take-back event Saturday, April 26 at the Albertsons store from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., per a DA program specialist who left flyers with event details.

Joseph Casados, a program specialist with the district attorney’s office, told the commission the DA’s office—working with the Taos Police Department—will host a safe-disposal site for unneeded or expired medications on Saturday, April 26, at Albertsons from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Casados said the program is part of the national prescription drug take-back effort and that flyers with event details were left at the commission table for distribution to residents.

“Please tell your constituents and any residents that you come across,” Casados said, asking commissioners to help publicize the event and encouraging safe disposal rather than household storage or improper disposal.

Staff will accept the flyers and publicize the take-back event through county channels.
