North Vernon store taking part in drug take back event

On Saturday, the Drug Enforcement Administration is sponsoring the 16th nationwide “Prescription Drug Take Back” initiative.

Collection sites will be set up nationwide for expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs which will be properly disposed of without threat to the environment. Locally, you’ll be able to drop off medication at the Jay C store, located at 2325 North Highway 3 in North Vernon, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This program is for liquid and pill medications. Needles, new or used, will not be accepted for disposal. This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.
