The event gives residents a chance to safely get ride of unwanted, unused or expired medications that otherwise may end up being used illegally or in the public water system.
The last county-wide collection event netted thousands of pounds of unused prescription medication.
Residents can go to any one of the locations in the county, no questions asked and drop off their medications to local police department sites where an officer and volunteers will be available.
