State Sen. Dale Fowler (R-Harrisburg) and State Rep. Patrick Windhorst (R-Metropolis) are teaming up with MCDAC (Massac County Drug Awareness Coalition) and the Metropolis Police Department to host a Prescription Drug Drop Off Day on Saturday, April 27 from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM at the Metropolis Police Department.
"Having hosted previous prescription drug drop off events, I have been encouraged by the terrific response and the dozens of pounds of drugs that we have been able to keep out of the wrong hands, to help alleviate clutter for people, and to keep our environment clean," said Rep. Windhorst. "I appreciate the close working relationship we’ve developed with the Metropolis Police Department and the Massac County Drug Awareness Coalition."
Residents are encouraged to drop off unused, expired, or unneeded medications, patches, vitamins, and pet medicines at the event. However, hypodermic needles and illegal drugs are not accepted. The service is provided free of charge.
For more information about the event, individuals can contact Senator Fowler at 618-294-8951 or Rep. Windhorst at 618-294-8703. The Massac County Drug Awareness Coalition can also be reached at (618) 316-4472.
