Greensboro, NC – Residents in Guilford County have an opportunity to safely dispose of unused or expired medications this weekend. The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office will host a community Medicine Drop-Off event on Saturday, October 25, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the event will take place at 400 W. Washington Street in Greensboro, where residents can anonymously drop off unwanted or expired pill-form medications for proper disposal. The collection is part of a countywide effort to reduce prescription drug misuse and keep harmful substances out of local waterways and homes.
Officials remind participants that liquids, needles, and sharps will not be accepted during the event. The Sheriff’s Office partners with local health and safety organizations to ensure medications are disposed of in compliance with environmental and safety standards.
Events like this are part of a national initiative supporting National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, which encourages residents to safely clear out medicine cabinets and prevent accidental or intentional misuse.
Residents are encouraged to arrive early, as past events have seen strong community turnout.
