On Saturday, October 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office and local police departments will be participating in the National Drug Take Back Day! This is a free service and is an easy way of disposing your unwanted, expired medications and prescription drugs. This is a great and important public service event because it helps prevent the potential of pills getting into the wrong hands or theft and misuse of medications. It also helps our environment with the proper disposal of these medications, instead of flushing them down the drain or throwing them out in the garbage. We’ve also made the process easy by having drop-off points throughout our county, including the following:
• Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office in Preston
• Lanesboro City Hall
• Mabel City Hall
• Spring Valley Fire Department
• Rushford Police Department.
It’s a real easy and quick process…drive up and drop the unwanted drugs off…no questions asked…and if you want to visit a bit…we’re happy to do that also!!!
