The Statesville Police Department will take part in the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, October 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Walgreens, located at 951 Davie Avenue.
The event provides the public with a safe and convenient way to dispose of unwanted, unused, or expired prescription medications.
Liquid products, including cough syrup, should remain tightly sealed in their original containers to prevent leakage. The Statesville Police Department’s collection site will also accept syringes and sharps; however, not all participating locations may accept these items.
