AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – If you have unused or expired medications, you can safely drop them off during Take Back Days in the CSRA.

The Richmond County and Columbia County Sheriff’s Office will be hosting events to safely collect, destroy, and dispose medications.

On Oct. 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the community can drop off medications at any of the addresses listed below.

  • CVS Pharmacy 1520 Walton Way, Augusta 30901
  • CVS 2902 Peach Orchard Road, Augusta 30906
  • Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Substation 650-A Ronald Reagan Drive, Evans 30809
  • Kroger 435 Lewiston Road, Grovetown 30813

How to prevent drug abuse and protect our waterways:

  • Lock up or hide your medications to prevent others from taking them.
  • Don’t flush your medications – trace amounts of the chemicals in medications can end up in our waterways.
  • Dispose of your medications at take-back sites.
