National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is Oct. 28, from 11 am-2 pm. Residents are invited to turn in unused or expired medication for safe disposal.

Operation Medicine Cabinet and other collection programs protect our children, our water and our food supplies, and decrease prescription drug abuse by making it easier for you to properly dispose of unused or expired medication. This is a completely confidential program. No personal information will be collected. Please remove all prescription labels before arriving.
