On Saturday, April 28, 2012 from 9 AM till noon, the Todd County Citizens Against Drugs Coalition will be hosting Prescription Drug Take Back events at three locations throughout Todd County.
These events are being held in conjunction with a National Program sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration. This is an excellent opportunity for people to get rid of their un-used and expired prescription and over the counter medications.
The drop off sites for these events will be at Lakewood Health System in Staples, CentraCare Health System in Long Prairie, and the Eagle Valley Clinic in Eagle Bend. Pharmacist’s from CentraCare, Seip Drug in Bertha, and Longbella Drug in Staples will be assisting with these events.
The Todd County Sheriff’s Office, Long Prairie Police Department, Eagle Bend Police Department and the Staples Police Department will also be assisting.
Please take advantage of these events so these medications can be properly disposed of and the risk of them falling into the wrong hands is diminished.
