(KMZA)--Nemaha County law enforcement agencies continue to offer a way for residents to get rid of unwanted prescription and over the counter drugs.
The Nemaha County Sheriff’s Department, Sabetha Police Department and Seneca Police Department for several years now have participated in the National Take Back event sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Sheriff Rich Vernon says the program provides a way for residents to safely dispose of their unwanted and expired medicines at no cost anytime.
There are two drop off locations in Nemaha County—the Nemaha County Sheriff’s Office in Seneca or Sabetha Police Department.
Vernon says there will be red boxes in front of both sites that are labeled for you to place your unwanted medicines. He says the DEA will be around in late April to pick up the dropped off items and take them to be destroyed.
Those with questions can call the Nemaha County Sheriff’s Office at 785-336-2311 or the Sabetha Police Department at 785-284-2158.
