Duluth, MN – Residents in St. Louis County have an opportunity to safely dispose of expired or unwanted medications this Saturday during a special Drug Take Back event in Duluth.
According to the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office, deputies will be stationed at the Resource Renew Household Hazardous Waste Facility between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 25, as part of the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. The initiative encourages residents to clear out their medicine cabinets and properly discard unused pharmaceuticals to prevent misuse and environmental contamination.
