Deputy Jeff Barnes says the agency will be collecting unused prescriptions at Laramie County Fire District #1 at 207 E. Allison Road from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow, April 24. Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands which is dangerous and often tragic, said Barnes. This is a wonderful opportunity to dispose of prescriptions without flushing them into the sewer system, he added.
Barnes says the sheriff s office took in approximately 250 pounds of unused prescriptions during last October s event.

SOUDERTON Â â A recently discovered sinkhole that was big enough for a vehicle to have fallen into it has been repaired before any damage or injuries occurred.
The sinkhole on Reliance Road between Main Street and Wile Avenue was caused by a squashed drainage pipe, Public Works Director Steve Coll said at the May 3 Souderton Borough Council meeting. The pipe actually failed and opened up and washed all the stone around. We had a sinkhole under the road there, Coll said. It was probably four feet deep, eight feet long by about four feet wide. Â

The road was closed for two days while repairs were made, he said.
