Leake County residents have an opportunity to safely dispose of unused prescription drugs as part of a statewide effort to combat addiction and overdose deaths.
Attorney General Lynn Fitch, in partnership with Sheriff Randy W. Atkinson, is encouraging seniors attending the Leake County Senior Citizens Day/TRIAD event to bring their unused medications for proper disposal. A designated drop-off table will be set up by the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office to ensure safe collection.
Important Reminder: Intravenous solutions, injectables, syringes, and needles will not be accepted.
Additionally, Kimberly Farmer, Consumer Protection Engagement Project Manager with the MS Attorney General’s Public Education and Community Engagement Division, will serve as the keynote speaker. She will provide insights on scams, identity theft, and how residents can protect their personal information.
Keep prescription drugs out of the wrong hands! Keep them safe! Clean them out! Take them back!
