National Drug Take Back Day Radio Ad

Now more than ever it is important to keep your home safe.

Did you know that most people who misuse prescription drugs got them from the medicine cabinet of a friend or family member?

National Drug Takeback Day is Saturday, April 24. This is a perfect time to get rid of old and unused medications. You can safely dispose of those medications at one of our 3 permanent medication drop box locations located at Oakland City Hall, Garrett County Sherriff’s Department, and the Maryland State Police Barracks in McHenry. 

If you do not have access to one of these locations, don’t worry. Just put wet coffee grounds or wet kitty litter into a plastic bag, mix in the medication, seal it up, and throw it into your household trash. It’s that simple.

This is one crisis we have the power to control.
