Help us solve prescription drug abuse.

The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and anonymous means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse and medications.

Turn in your unused or expired prescription medications for safe disposal at the Adams County Government Center, 4430 South Adams County Pkwy., Brighton, on Saturday, April 28, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. You can conceal or remove any personal information, including Rx number, on the empty containers by covering it with permanent marker or duct tape, or by scratching/taking it off.
