These events are held regularly to help rid the community of medications that may cause accidental poisoning, be flushed or trashed polluting our waters.
If you who weren’t able to make it Saturday to the event, you can drop off pills anytime at the Knox County Sheriff’s Office at 11540 Upper Gilchrist Road or the Mount Vernon Police Department at 5 N. Gay Street.
