MARION — The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office will be participating in the next National Prescription Drug Take Back event on Saturday, April 27.

It will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Williamson County Administrative Building on North Monroe Street in Marion.

This event allows you to dispose of unused, expired, or unwanted prescription medication. This medication will be disposed of by the DEA in an environmentally safe way.

The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office will also allow you to dispose of needles and “sharps” at the same time. These sharps must be kept separate from the medications. The Sheriff’s Office will dispose of the sharps through its Jail contracts.

Other collection sites and additional information can be found at the official DEA site.
