The Cullman County Sheriff’s Office is participating in “National Prescription Drug Take Back Day” this Saturday, October 27th, from 8:00a.m to 12:00p.m.
Cullman County residents can bring their unused or expired medication to the Cullman County Sheriff’s Office Training Building, next door to the sheriff’s office, and deputies will dispose of the medication for them safely.
“There are several very important reasons to dispose of unwanted prescription drugs but the main reason is these medicines remain in the home and are highly susceptible to being misused, stolen and abused,” said Sheriff Matt Gentry.
The aim is to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse and medications, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
