COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Some Branch County police agencies will be taking part in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s 13th Annual National Prescription Drug Take-Back Program on Saturday, April 29th.
Unused and old prescription medicines can be dropped off to the Branch County Sheriff’s Office and the Coldwater, Quincy, and Union City Police Departments between 10am-2pm on the 29th.
Undersheriff Keith Eichler told County Commissioners last Tuesday that a large amount of prescription drugs have been collected over the last couple of years – 570 lbs. in 2016 and around 150 lbs. so far this year.
No liquids, needles or used bandages with bodily fluids on them will be accepted.
