The Sevier County Sheriff's Office held a drug take-back event as part of the DEA National Prescription Drug Takeback initiative, collecting 80 pounds of unwanted prescription medications. Reserve deputies Jose Morales, Nilda Morales, Kevin Boone, and Rob Taylor were recognized for their key roles in the event's success, as reported by the Sevier County Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office emphasized the importance of safe and responsible disposal of prescription drugs to prevent misuse. Residents are reminded that unused medications can be dropped off anytime at the downtown office’s disposal bin, as stated by the Sevier County Sheriff's Office.
According to the Sevier County Sheriff's Office on their Facebook page, the department provides a permanent prescription drug drop-off bin at 106 W. Bruce Street, available 24/7 for solid medications. Liquids and syringes should not be placed in the bin. The program complements periodic take-back events, allowing residents to safely dispose of unwanted medications.
