Prescription Drug Take-Back This Friday in Murfreesboro Apr 19, 2021 at 06:55 am by WGNS
Local law enforcement and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration are working to provide the public the opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
This Friday in Murfreesboro, Trust Point Hospital and Murfreesboro Medical Clinic are partnering with the Prevention Coalition and the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office to provide a safe place for you to dispose of your unused medications.
The Murfreesboro “Drive-Thru” drug take back event will be collecting tablets, capsules, pills of all types and other solid forms of prescription drugs. However, they cannot accept liquids, needles, sharp instruments, or illegal drugs on Friday (April 23, 2021).

This property can better serve Murfreesboro as a job creation and economic development opportunity similar to the city-owned Gateway properties, said Sam Huddleston, executive director of the city s Development Services Division.
