We've partnered with the Portland Police Bureau for a free document shred and prescription drug turn-in event.  Drive, walk or bike-up and drop off your unwanted/expired prescription drugs and sensitive documents.

  • Saturday, October 26th, 2019
  • 10am-2pm (No Early Birds Please)
  • 4735 E Burnside, Portland, OR 97215

Drugs will be safely incinerated, and documents will be securely shredded on site. By participating, you reduce the risk of identity theft and misuse of prescription drugs.

Be sure to bring donations of canned food, dry pasta, and non-perishable food items to benefit Sunshine Division (Tax deduction forms will be provided). This event is free and anonymous. Rivermark staff will be on hand to answer any questions you might have.
