Sheriff’s Office and Rock Springs Police Department collecting unwanted prescription drugs on Saturday

The Rock Springs Police Department and Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office will be teaming up with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in an annual program that gives the public the opportunity to prevent prescription pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says it all takes place on Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM.






Blust says the initiative addresses a vital public safety and health issue.






To dispose of your medications, take them to the Sheriff's Office North Substation on Yellowstone Road north of the main fairgrounds entrance. Or you can take them to the pharmacies at Smith's on Foothill Drive and Albertson's Dewar Drive in Rock Springs where deputies and city officers will be manning special collection stations.
