The Snellville Police Department will take your expired or unwanted prescription drugs on April 29.

The police are participating in a National Drug Take Back event, when people can give their local police department prescription drugs for safe disposal. It’s designed to prevent the drugs from falling into the hands of children or people who could potentially abuse them.
