The Allegany County Sheriff's Office in partnership with the Allegany County Health Department will be holding a Prescription Drug Take Back Event at the Lavale Lions Chicken BBQ on Saturday, October 19, 2024 from 12 noon to 4 pm.

Medicine take back options are the best way to safely dispose of unused or expired prescription and nonprescription (for example, over the counter) medicines.

 Before disposing of prescription medicines, be sure to remove all personal information on pill bottle labels and medicine packaging.  All of your medicines dropped off at the take back locations will be destroyed.
