Their goal is to get area residents to clean out their medicine cabinets and around their homes and properly dispose of any unused medications.
Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace wants your drugs. So does Vicksburg Police Chief Milton Moore.
What they really want is to make sure your medicine cabinets are clear of unused and outdated medications.
This Saturday the Warren County Sheriff’s Department will have their Mobile Command Center set up at the Outlets of Vicksburg from 10 am to 2 pm. The Vicksburg Police Department will be set up at Walgreen’s during the same hours.
Their goal is to get area residents to clean out their medicine cabinets and around their homes and properly dispose of any unused medications. This annual program is sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The agency will pick up and properly dispose of the narcotics in an environmentally friendly incinerator.
Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace reminds citizens that those who are unable to make it to either location, that both departments have drop containers in the respective lobbies of their departments. These containers are available to the public during normal business hours year round. He encourages citizens to take advantage of this opportunity to rid their residences of substances which could potentially fall into the wrong hands. There is no charge for this service and you will not have to answer any questions, nor identify yourself.
Anyone with any questions can contact the Sheriff’s Office at 601-636-1761 or the Vicksburg Police Department at 601-636-2511. Please take this chance to rid your home of substances that could prove deadly in the wrong
hands.
