The Hamilton County Coalition (HCC) says several pounds of discarded medications were collected during a drug take back event on Monday.

The HCC says almost 60 pounds of unwanted and unused medications were collected from 9:00am to 1:00pm in the parking lot of Overlooked Materials on S. Watkins Street.

If you couldn't make it to Monday's take back event, the nationwide take back event is coming up.

The HCC will have several locations in Hamilton County during National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on October 25.

Unless noted, all locations will be open from 10:00am to 2:00pm.
