2013 Year End Summary

National Drug Take-Back Initiative

Unused prescription medications are a safety issue that can lead to accidental overdose and abuse. Homes with children and elderly are especially vulnerable to the dangers of unused or expired medication. Unused medications should not be disposed of by flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the garbage due to environmental and safety hazards. The Rockingham County Sheriff's Office provides a safe and responsible means of disposal for unused prescription drugs. Unused prescription drugs may be dropped off at the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office at anytime. The drugs will be destroyed in accordance with federal and state guidelines.

On April 26, 2014 the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office will be participating in the National Drug Take-Back Initiative. Unused prescription drugs may be dropped off from 10:00am to 2:00pm at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds, Rockingham Memorial Hospital, and the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office.

If you miss this event, prescription drugs may be dropped off anytime at the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office.
