The Cabell County Sheriff’s Department and Huntington Police Department, in partnership with Prevention Empowerment Partnership (PEP), a Marshall University initiative, will host National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at four locations in Cabell County:
· Drug Emporium, 3 Mall Rd., Barboursville, West Virginia 25504
· Cabell County QRT, 1133 20th St., Huntington, West Virginia 25703
· Cabell County EMS Station 6, 1766 Washington Ave., Huntington, West Virginia 25704
· Huntington Police Department, 675 10th St., Huntington, West Virginia 25701
For more than a decade, this national event has offered a safe and convenient way for individuals to dispose of unwanted or expired prescription medications, helping to prevent drug misuse and environmental contamination.
PEP and the Cabell County Drug Take-back Teams encourage residents to take this opportunity to clean out their medicine cabinets and safely dispose of medications. Substance use prevention resources will also be available on-site.
