“National Drug Take Back Day is an easy and effective way to help keep our families and neighborhoods safe,” County Executive Bob Cassilly said. “I encourage everyone to take a few minutes to gather any unused or expired medications and bring them to one of these convenient drop-off locations to take advantage of this free service. This is a completely anonymous, no questions asked, drop and go event.”

All types of over the counter and prescription medications will be accepted along with vitamins and pet medications – no questions asked.
