National Drug Take Back Initiative
Name: National Drug Take Back InitiativeDate: October 22, 2016Time: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM EDTEvent Description:On Saturday October 22, 2016 the Farmville Police Department and Longwood University Police Department will again join with law enforcement agencies across the nation to participate in the 12th National Drug Take Back Initiative. This initiative is designed to remove potentially dangerous prescription and other medications from homes by allowing citizens to anonymously dispose of them in a safe manner. Last year, agencies collected over 121 tons of prescription drugs for proper disposal. The Farmville Police Department and Longwood University Police Department collected over 110 pounds of unused or expired prescription drugs last April.
From 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. officers from both departments will becollecting unwanted or expired medications at Midtown Square between Barnes & Noble Bookstore and Chick-fil-A. Citizens may drive through to drop off medications, with no questions asked and without having to exit their vehicles. To remain anonymous, donors should remove the labels from all containers, or they may dump loose medications directly into our collection box. However, any liquids should remain sealed in their own containers. Intravenous solutions, injectables, and syringes cannot be accepted at this time.
Authorized by: Chief Andy Ellington. For more information, please contact Detective Sergeant C W Moss at 434-392-9259.
