This past weekend was National Drug Take Back Day, which is where people could take unneeded prescription drugs somewhere to be disposed of properly.  This happens once in the spring and fall and Iowans have taken advantage of this year after year.

That is Marshall County Sheriff, Joel Phillips, talking about statewide statistics.  In Marshall County people were able to take their prescriptions to the Sheriff’s office or Marshalltown Police Station.

In Marshall County we do not have to wait for the spring or fall take back day, as these are 24/7 365.  There are white drop boxes located at the sheriff’s office and police station.  Sheriff Phillip’s says the boxes are clearly locked.
