The annual Fall Drug Take-Back Day is taking place in Lebanon this Saturday (10/24) from 10 am to 2 p.m. at Lebanon City Hall. A project of the Lebanon Police Department, the Laclede County Health Department, and the Laclede County Drug Council, the Drug Take-Back will allow the public to drop off unwanted and unused prescription pills and patches. Laclede County Drug Council President Brian Thompson said by getting rid of unwanted or unused prescription pills you reduce the chances of drug abuse. All you have to do is drive-through, and give the medications to the volunteers…

Again the annual Fall Drug Take Back event will be this Saturday from 10 to 2 p.m. rain or shine. If you have questions call the Lebanon Police Department at 991-2351. Across the Nation, last Fall, Americans turned in nearly 883-thousand pounds of prescription drugs.
