The Washington County Sheriff's Department will be hosting their quarterly drive-thru Drug Drop and Food Drive at the Washington County Sheriff's Department on Saturday, May 11, 9 a.m.-12 noon.
Citizens can simply drive through the parking lot and hand off expired or unwanted prescription medications and drive away, no questions asked. The medications are incinerated the same day, which is an approved method of disposal. Flushing medications down the toilet or sink drain is NEVER RECOMMENDED.
The Sheriff's Department will also be collecting non-perishable food items, which will be donated to the local food bank in Salem. HUNGER KNOWS NO SEASON!
