Turn in unused prescription medications
Posted on:
On Saturday, April 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. get rid of any expired or other prescription medications you don't need anymore - drop them off at any Lorain County police department. This "Drug Take Back Day" is a national initiative through the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Prescription turn-in days keep medications from getting in the hands of people who the medication isn't prescribed to. This initiative also helps keep medications out of the water supply.
