The Coalition, Angelina Beautiful/Clean, Abeldt’s Pharmacy, and the Angelina County’s Sheriff’s Department are partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to host a Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 24th. The Drug Take Back Day is an opportunity to prevent medicine abuse and theft by safely discarding expired, unused, and unwanted medications. Bring your pills for disposal to the Angelina County’s Sheriff’s Department at 2311 E. Lufkin Avenue Lufkin, Texas 75901 on April 24th from 10am-2pm. The DEA cannot accept liquids, needles or sharps, only pills or patches. The drive-thru service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. For more information, contact The Coalition at 634-9308.
