Help keep Jackson safe! Support Drug Take Back Day and bring all unneeded and/or expired Rx meds to the Albion Department of Public Safety for proper disposal this Saturday from 10am-2pm. Find more drop off locations and info at www.DEATakeBack.com
Turning in all expired or unneeded prescription drug (such as Oxycodone) on Drug Take Back Day is the safest and most environmentally responsible way to dispose of them and prevent their misuse.
