Through a partnership with the Burke County Sheriff’s Office, 32 lbs of unused and expired prescription medication was collected. The purpose of Prescription Drug Takeback Day is “to prevent the abuse of prescription medications and to provide a safe way to dispose of unused drugs, which can otherwise be a source for misuse and environmental harm”. If you have expired and/or unused prescription medication in your home, please feel free to place them in the drop box located in the lobby of the Sheriff’s Office located at 225 GA-24, Waynesboro, GA 30830.
