HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Henrico County is hosting a drug take back day event this month, giving residents the opportunity to safely and anonymously dispose of unneeded or old prescription drugs.

On Saturday, April 25, residents can visit any of the three below locations to dispose of old prescriptions:

• Henrico Public Safety Building (7721 E. Parham Road)
• Henrico Fairfield Library (1401 N. Laburnum Avenue)
• Wegmans (12200 Wegmans Boulevard)

"Unneeded prescription medications that are old, unwanted, or no longer needed, are a public safety issue, and too often become a gateway to addiction," county leaders said on social media.
