Starke County Sheriff Jack Rosa is partnering with the Hub Coalition of Starke County to have coordinated local drop off points for unwanted and expired prescription medications during the Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Drug Take Back Day.
The initiative seeks to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft through proper disposal of unwanted prescription drugs.
Collection sites will be set up for expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs which will be properly disposed of without threat to the environment with no questions asked.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, October 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. CT. Drop off locations will be at the Starke County Sheriff’s Department at 5435 E. State Road 8 in Knox, the Bass Lake-California Township Fire Department at 7225 U.S. 35 in Knox, and the Koontz Lake Fire Station at 7784 State Road 23 in Walkerton.
