The DeKalb Prevention Coalition encourages DeKalb County residents to take part in National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Saturday, April 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The public will be provided the opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. (Sites cannot accept liquids, needles or sharp instruments, only pills or patches.) The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
DeKalb Prevention Coalition will have two locations this year: Smithville City Hall at 104 East Main Street and the Alexandria City Hall at 102 High Street
For more information about this years RX Take Back event please follow the DeKalb Prevention Coalition facebook page, email dekalbtnprevention@gmail.com or call/ text the Coalition @ (615)- 580-9290.
This project is funded under a grant contract with the State of Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
