Sullivan County Participates in the First Take-Back Day

The Sullivan County Sheriff's Office is participating in the national prescription drug take-back day on Saturday, September 25. Expired, unused or unwanted prescription drugs can be taken to the Sheriff's Office at 140 Blountville Blvd., from 9 - noon.

Properly disposing prescription drugs that are no longer needed keeps them from luring children or teens to experiment or from entering the nation's water supply when flushed down toilets.
