The event will be held at the front lobby entrance of the police station at 2025 S. Main St.
Items that will be accepted include all over-the-counter or prescription medication in pill, tablet, liquid, cream or capsule form including schedule II-V controlled and non-controlled substances.
Pills need to be emptied out of their containers and placed in a plastic bag (not paper, so the contents can be seen to verify they are eligible to be accepted).
Vape pens or other e-cigarette devices from individual consumers will be accepted only after the batteries are removed from the devices.
Not accepted: Illegal drugs, needles, inhalers or aerosol cans.
The Lakeport Police Department has collected over 1,257 pounds of prescription drugs since it began participating in this program in January 2019. Many of these drugs were dangerous narcotics, including opioids.
“Removal of prescription drugs in this safe manner protects our community by keeping them from being diverted to illegal use and out of the environment and water sources,” the department said in its announcement.
For more information contact Chief of Police Brad Rasmussen at 707-263-5491.

From April 18 to 25, AirWorks crews will be collecting data to support preparedness for future broadband installation work in portions of Lake County, officials reported.
This data collection will support implementation of Lake County’s updated Broadband Master Plan, which is currently under development in partnership with CBG Communications Inc.
These operations include use of drones flying at 200 to 3,000 feet (weather permitting), and some ground crews taking measurements and conducting safety checks.
Work will be done between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day.
The map above depicts the areas expected to be surveyed — roughly 40 miles, in total, in the Nice and Kelseyville areas.
Data regarding utility structures (poles and wires), roads, sidewalks and curbs will be collected, and used for mapping purposes, only.
A digital map is accessible here; please note, the polygons demonstrating data collection areas may take some time to display.

“This action strongly positions the state to pass a balanced budget in June that protects key programs Californians rely on,” said Newsom. “I thank our leaders in the Legislature for their commitment to finding common ground as we continue working towards responsibly meeting this challenge in the months ahead.”
Under AB 106, the Department of Finance will report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee the list of items pursuant to the early action agreement that will no longer be included in the baseline budget forecast.
AB 106 is part of the early action agreement that contains a mix of $3.6 billion in reductions (primarily to one-time funding), $5.2 billion in revenue and borrowing, $5.2 billion in delays and deferrals, and $3.4 billion in shifts of costs from the general fund to other state funds.
