Friday Facts - Rx Drug Take Back Day

In this episode of Friday Facts, Ross Wilsie with NRVCS provides an update on the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day event, which occurs twice each year. Since October of 2022, police departments and sheriff's offices in the NRV have collected over 4,000 pounds of unused or expired medications - that's 4,000 pounds fewer medications in peoples' homes that could possibly be misused! To learn more about expired prescription medication disposal, as well as a closer look at the New River Valley’s collection results on the most recent Take Back Day event, visit www.nrvcs.org/fridayfacts/.
