Participate in Prescription Drug Take Back Day this Fall

Oct 22, 2024

SWACO is supporting local law enforcement and communities across Franklin County to host mobile collection events for dry, prescription pills. These convenient events provide families with a safe and environmentally responsible way to dispose of unused or expired prescriptions.

When done with prescription medicine, it’s easy to forget about it sitting unused in a drawer or medicine cabinet. But keeping unneeded medicine in the house can harm children, pets, teens and adults if accidentally ingested or misused. Properly disposing of medication also contributes to keeping our waterways and environment protected and healthy. Please do not flush medications.

Mobile collection events are being held across Franklin County from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on October 26th and are free and open to the public. Please use this link to locate a collection site.

SWACO also partners with communities across Franklin County to make permanent collection sites available year-round. Please use this link to locate a permanent collection site which is available year-round.
