The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office collected approximately 160 pounds of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs for destruction during the nationwide prescription “Take-Back” on April 22.
The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office partnered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in the initiative to help prevent increased pill abuse and theft.
As a reminder, prescription drugs are collected all year long at the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office in the Drug Free Fulton County collection box. The box provides residents with a safe and environmentally responsible way to dispose of unwanted, unused, or expired medication.
