CCSO is one of several local agencies that offer a safe way for the community to dispose of medications through permanent collection sites. Twelve drop-off sites placed throughout the county gave residents the opportunity to easily dispose of their unwanted medications.
As a result of Saturday's initiative, 449.23 pounds of discarded drugs were collected.
