Saturday is DEA Drug Take Back event 10 AM- 2 PM. Join us at Wonder Lake Fire Station- East side. Other PD's hosting
The McHenry County HEAT Task Force encourages residents to participate in the upcoming DEA Prescription Drug Take Back event on Saturday, April 26, 2014 from 10:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. taking place nationwide. Research has shown that there can be a connection between the abuse of prescription medications and heroin abuse. A great way for community members to do their part in the fight against drug addiction is to safely dispose of unused, unwanted prescription medications.
This event gives community members the opportunity to clean out their medicine cabinets. Investigations reveal that medications are taken from family and friends houses, in thefts and burglaries, and other unsecured locations. Medications taken can be used by that person or sold to someone who plans to abuse a medication not prescribed to them. Collected medications are then turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) where they will be safely and permanently disposed. No liquids or needles can be collected at this event.
The Sheriff’s Office will be hosting a collection site at the Wonder Lake Fire Protection District- East side Fire Station.
