(Robinson) – Now is the time to go through your medicine cabinet. Crawford Memorial Hospital and the Robinson Police Department will allow the public to dispose of outdated and unwanted medication this weekend. CMH Director of Pharmacy, Blake Potts, says this is a “no questions asked” event.

Potts says this will mark the 10th year CMH has participated in the National Drug Take-Back event and in that time they have collected over forty-five hundred pounds of unwanted medication. The “Drug Take-Back” will be held Saturday from 10-2 at the East Entrance of CMH under the canopy. Potts says every kind of medicine including over-the-counter, prescription, liquid, pill, and ointment will be taken. However, syringes will not be accepted.
