CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Each day next week, unused, unneeded and expired prescription drugs can be disposed of safely by taking them to the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office.
In many places, Take Back Prescription Drugs Day is just that – one day.
Hamilton County’s Take Back Day is Sept. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Central High School, located at 5728 Highway 58, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department.
In Bradley County, the sheriff department’s effort is augmented by a Drug Enforcement Administration grant and the local anti-addiction group, the GRAAB Coalition, which is halfway through its own five-year federal grant.
