To help prevent prescription drug abuse, the Suwanee Police Department is once again participating in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s “Take Back” event on April 30.

Police will accept expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs for disposal from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Last September, Americans turned in 121 tons of prescription drugs at 4,100 sites. More than 20 pounds was collected in Suwanee.

Intravenous solutions, injected medications, and needles aren't accepted. Medications can be dropped off at the police department at 373 Highway 23 NW in Suwanee.
