Amy Hall gives a sack of unused, unwanted medicine to Sheriff Keith Everhart on Saturday. More than 200 vehicles passed through the Drug Take-back sites in Ada, Forest, and Kenton where volunteers collected hundreds of pounds of unused prescription and over the counter medications for disposal.
The event was a cooperative effort of the North Central Ohio Solid Waste District, Hardin Memorial Hospital, The Hardin County Sheriff's Office, the Forest Police Deptment and the Ohio Northern University College of Pharmacy.
Some medicines are not broken down by water treatment plants, so it is important to properly dispose of unwanted medicines by this method.
