A drug take-back event in Columbus July 12 produced a significant haul — about 400 pounds of expired, unused or otherwise unwanted prescription drugs turned in for disposal.
The take-back was a record for the Indiana Attorney General’s Office for a single event, bringing the state total collected this year to 1,463 pounds.
Columbus’ record-breaking event at Kroger Marketplace benefited from several car loads of items that were turned over by a physician’s office that wanted to dispose of medications in a safe way, Columbus police said.
That amount was significant — several hundred pounds, organizers said.
