Maury Regional, Sheriff’s Office Hosting Medication Take-Back Day

Maury Regional Health, in partnership with the Maury County Sheriff’s Office and Maury County Prevention Coalition, is hosting an event for members of the community to dispose of expired, unused or unneeded prescription drugs safely and anonymously on Saturday, April 25, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

A convenient drive-thru will be available for community members to drop off their expired or unneeded prescription drugs in the Medical Office Building parking lot on Maury Regional Medical Center’s (MRMC) campus at 1222 Trotwood Avenue in Columbia. Members of the medical center’s security team, along with the Maury County Sheriff’s Office, will be present to safely receive items from drivers in their vehicles and properly dispose of them. The service is free and anonymous with no information required.

This event will also feature family-friendly activities hosted by the Maury County Prevention Coalition and Sheriff’s Office, including face painting, a slide and a free lunch of grilled hot dogs.

“We are pleased to once again offer our community a convenient and safe way to dispose of unused, expired or unneeded medications,” said MRMC Security Director Scott Nations. “We encourage residents to take advantage of this important opportunity.”

Proper disposal of unused or unwanted medications helps to prevent accidental poisoning or misuse, as well as helping protect the environment.

Only medications in pill or patch form should be brought to the upcoming drug take-back event. Items should be in their original container, if possible. The site cannot accept liquids, needles or sharps. For more information, contact the Maury Regional Medical Center Security Department at 931.381.1111, ext. 4327.
