Mountain Home, AR. – The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office announced yesterday that they will be partaking in National Take-Back Day once again as a way to help remove unwanted, unused, and potentially dangerous drugs and other controlled substances from open circulation.
This event will be taking place this Saturday, April 27th from 10am to 2pm at the Baxter County Fairgrounds. The address is 1507 Fairgrounds Drive in Mountain Home.
In the words of the Baxter County Sheriff’s Office, the National Take-Back Day program is both free and a “No Questions Asked” event. People will be able to drop off pills and other medications in bottles, bags, or other disposable containers, and people may remove all labels from these containers if they wish.
In addition to the Fairgrounds location, individuals may also drop off their items at a secure drop box that is located at 206 West 8th Street. This lock box is under video surveillance due to security reasons.
All drugs collected in this event will be later destroyed using an incinerator.
