[vc_single_image image=”7508″ img_size=”full”]Columbia, SC – Saturday, Oct 26th, is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. LRADAC is partnering with Rise Above It: Lexington Two Community Coalition (RAI), Lexington One Community Coalition (LOCC), Columbia Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies to host prescription drug take-back events at locations throughout Lexington and Richland Counties. The purpose of these collection sites is to provide community members with a safe way to dispose of unwanted, unused and expired medications. By doing so, these drugs are kept out of reach for children and will not contaminate the environment.[vc_tta_accordion color=”sky” gap=”2″ c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true” title=”Drop-off Locations:”][vc_tta_section title=”Cayce/West Columbia:” tab_id=”1571771320611-a510a25f-1d44″]
