The Bristol Tennessee Police Department will host a Prescription Drug Take Back event on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Bristol Tennessee Municipal Parking Lot (Courthouse Parking Lot) at 801 Anderson Street.

Community members are asked to bring unwanted or expired medications (prescription and over-the-counter medications and supplements) to this secure drop-off site. No questions will be asked and participants will not be asked for identification. All items will be incinerated by the Bristol Tennessee Police Department for proper disposal.

The Police Department is encouraging individuals to rid their households of unused medications that pose a safety hazard and can contribute to prescription drug abuse. Additionally, proper disposal is much safer for the environment and the water supply as flushing or throwing away medication puts our waterways and aquatic life at risk. Liquids and syringes will not be accepted.

This Drug Take Back event is intended for the general public. Doctor’s offices, clinics, or other medical offices should follow the guidelines set by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

For additional information about this event or to receive help with the safe disposal of prescription drugs throughout the year, please contact BTPD Officer Mark Millard at mmillard@bristoltn.gov.
