Law Enforcement Agencies Conduct Prescription Drug Take-Back Day

The Rockville City Police Department and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on May 30 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Police Headquarters, 2 West Montgomery Ave.

The event is a safe, free and anonymous opportunity to dispose of unused, unwanted or expired prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications.  Liquids, illicit drugs, needles, sharps and syringes cannot be accepted as part of the take-back program.

The initiative is part of an effort to prevent the increasing problems of prescription drug abuse and theft that continue to occur nationwide.
