I just wanted you to know that tomorrow, Saturday, April 24th, is National Drug Take Back Day. The Take Back Day is part of the DEA’s National Take Back Initiative to safely dispose of unwanted medications.
Collection sites are set up throughout the area, including:

Help prevent over-the-counter (cough medicine, pain relievers, etc.) and prescription drug abuse by dropping off any unwanted, expired, or unused medicines, vitamins, or nutritional supplements. All medications must be in original containers, with all names crossed out.
**The service is free and anonymous, no questions will be asked**
No needles or sharps will be accepted.
