FCSD announces Prescription Drug Takebacks are huge successes

Franklin County Sheriff’s Department press release

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Department announced the results of its recent prescription drug takeback events.

The events were held in Brookville, at the United Methodist Church parking lot on Monday, April 19, and in Metamora, at the Metamora Volunteer Fire Department on Wednesday, April 28.  Deputies collected a combined amount of 75 pounds of unwanted, unused, or expired medications.

          “Anytime that you can prevent that amount of unwanted, unused, or expired medication from getting into the wrong hands, or prevent that amount from getting into the environment, that is a huge win for our community,” said FCSD Deputy Jason Lovins. “All of this would not have been possible without collaboration with our community partners: Margaret Mary Health, Stayin’ Alive LCC, Metamora Volunteer Fire Department, and the Brookville United Methodist Church. Most of all, it would not have been possible without our citizens.”

          Deputies would like to remind citizens that there are three area permanent takeback collection sites: the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department, Margaret Mary Health main hospital in Batesville, and the Batesville Police Department.
