DRUG TAKE BACK DAY 4/25/24 The
Clay County Hospital will be the drop off location for the Clay County
prescription drug take-back initiative on Friday from 10 am to 1 pm. The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to
provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription
drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of
medications. Unused medications in the home are a source of drug abuse in
millions of homes, 80% of US waterways show traces of common medication; and
56% of teens think that prescription drugs are easier to get than illicit
drugs. The Drug Take Back Day will provide a safe and trusted method of
disposal of prescription drugs. The drug take back event on Friday is sponsored
by the Coalition Against Drug Abuse of Clay County in cooperation with the Clay
County Sheriff’s Office, Flora Police Department, Clay County Hospital, Clay
County Solid Waste Committee, Clay County Health Department, and Clay County
Probation.
