In order to help for drugs around the house from falling into the wrong hands the Jackson Parish Ambulance Service District (JPASD) is offering drug disposal kits free to the public. The patented Deterra® System deactivates prescription drugs, pills, patches, liquids, creams and films. Deterra renders them inert, unavailable for misuse and safe for the environment. In a simple 3-step process, a user deactivates the drugs by putting them in a Deterra pouch or container, adding water, shaking and throwing it away. 

Call the JPSAD at (318) 259-2891 to reserve kits before coming to the office at 115 Watts St. in Jonesboro. Delivery of kits are aviailable to those who are unable to drive.
