New Castle Co. police unveil prescription drop box

    ew Castle County residents will soon have another option for getting rid of unwanted medications.

    County police plan to unveil a prescription drug drop box at the department’s headquarters next week.

     

    Several times a year the Drug Enforcement Agency holds a National “”Prescription Drug Take- Back Day,” but the drop box will allow people to safely dispose of expired, unwanted and unused prescription drugs whenever they want.
