The Rock Springs Police Department and Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office will be collecting old, expired and unused prescription drugs on Saturday, October 29th, between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM . Detective Dick Blust with the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office says the collection is a team effort with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in an annual program that gives the public the opportunity to prevent prescription pill abuse and theft.
The initiative provides a safe way for everyone to dispose of drugs that might be otherwise abuse, stolen or misused. Rates of prescription drug abuse are on the rise and flushing or simply throwing away drugs adds poisons into our water and environment.
For those who have medications to dispose of but are unable to make the event on Saturday, Community Services Officer Randy Hanson of the Rock Springs Police Department is available and can be contacted at the Rock Springs Police Department.
