LOGAN â The City of Logan Police Department is now home to one of the countyâs four drug takeback boxes.
Thanks to a combination of efforts by Prestera and the Logan County Prevention Coalition, the drug takeback boxes allow local residents to dispose of unwanted and expired prescription medications in a safe and convenient manner. Paid for by a substance abuse prevention grant, the latest takeback box is located at the City of Logan Police Department, which is connected to city hall.
âAs of now, this is open to the public,â said city patrolman Andy Bias, who is the officer in charge of the takeback box in Logan. âIf they have any prescriptions they need to get rid of at their house, they can just bring them here.â

LOGAN â The Logan County Sheriffâs Department collected 131 pounds of unwanted drugs from three drug takeback events.
According to Sheriff P.D. Clemens, 23 pounds of unwanted drugs were collected during the first event in Chapmanville on Friday, April 16. The second takeback, held in Man on Friday, April 23, saw a 36 pound takeback, and the final event at the Fountain Place Mall on Saturday, April 24, saw 72 pounds returned.
Combined with the countyâs drug takeback boxes, 301 pounds of drugs were properly disposed.
