National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The DEA says so far the events have resulted in more than 14 million pounds of pills being turned in since 2010.
For several years now, the Lee County Sheriff's Office has made secure drop boxes available to our citizens in order to collect potentially harmful expired, unused or unwanted medications so they can be disposed of safely. There is no cost and drop-offs can be made anonymously. The drop box is located inside the main entrance to the Sheriff's Office at 1401 Elm Street in Sanford and is accessible year round during normal business hours.
Leftover pills can also be dropped off at certain pharmacies and other collection sites around the county. You can find those locations at www.rxdrugdropbox.org.
