police-tyler-car3TYLER — Tyler Police have announced a medication drop off event Saturday at Brookshire’s on Rice Road from 10:00 a.m. will 2:00 p.m. They will be hosting, along with the Drug Enforcement Agency and Brookshire’s. Officials said anyone interested can just drive-up and drop off your unused and expired medications for safe disposal without getting out of your vehicle, “No questions asked.” The event is free and allows people the opportunity to turn in unused and expired medications.

Authorities said it’s important to clean out your medicine cabinet, especially if you have children. Young children may confuse it with something to eat or drink and keeping unneeded medications with teenagers can lead to potential drug abuse. Medications including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, veterinary medicine, vitamins, minerals and medication samples are all accepted. Medical equipment such as oxygen tanks, sharps, inhalers, thermometers, nebulizers and IV bags cannot be accepted.
