Unsure of what to do with unused or expired prescription drugs, residents in the Mid-Ohio Valley can drop them off at various locations as part of the National Take-Back Day program on Saturday. The day aims to provide a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs while also educating the public about the potential for abuse of medications.
Washington County Deputy Sheriff Duane Painter said residents can bring anything from insulin needles, pills and medication patches. Liquid medications will not be accepted and COVID protocols must be used at the locations.
Materials must be provided in a bag, but Painter said volunteers will bag the items if residents are unable to provide one.

The fire that destroyed a Lubeck home is still under investigation, the fire chief said Tuesday.
The Lubeck Volunteer Fire Department responded around 5 p.m. Monday to a house fire at 2025 Kesteron Road, Chief Mike Stewart said.
A father and son lived there. The father had gone to pick up the boy from school around 4 p.m. and when they returned they saw smoke and immediately called 911 for help.
The house was fully involved when crews arrived on the scene. Firefighters did an external attack and were able to knock it down. Three dogs died in the fire after the house collapsed in on itself in the fire. The father tried to get them out, but was not able to reach them. Crews were eventually able to get in and retrieve the animals’ remains.
