CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - At the University of Virginia Medical Center, people were able to drive through and drop off unused medications and prescriptions, all with the goal of keeping these pills off the streets.
“Across the country, across the state, across the county, there are multiple sites where people can go and drop off these medications,” resident physician at UVA Harrison Plunkett said.
He says this drive-through event is in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Agency’s National Drug Take Back Day on April 24.
