Johns Creek police wants your drugs.

The city's chamber of commerce on Wednesday posted to Facebook that the Johns Creek Police Department will be collecting medication on April 27.

Not only is this spring cleaning, but police are accepting the medications so they don’t end up in the hands of those who could abuse pills.
