Prescription Drug Take Back Event
|
The Lake County Sheriff's Office is once again participating in the Drug Enforcement Administration National Prescription Drug Take Back event.
On Sept. 27 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. anyone having unwanted or unused prescription drugs can drop them off at one of the following locations for proper disposal.
Beach Park Village Hall, 11270 W. Wadsworth Rd., Beach Park
Volo Village Hall, 500 S. Fish Lake Rd, Volo
Fremont Township Office, 22385 W. Route 60, Mundelein
This event will be the second national event this year. The Lake County Sheriff's Office collected a total of 685 pounds of medication at the spring 2014 Prescription Drug Take Back event held in April. Last year Lake County collected 6,700 pounds of medication.
Ridding medicine cabinets of these prescription drugs prevents children from accidentally consuming them and unauthorized users from obtaining them. The Lake County Sheriff's Office is committed to limiting the availability of prescription drugs and protecting our environment by properly disposing them.
