Pitt County – The Pitt County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, Pitt County Safe Kids Coalition, and the Pitt County Substance Abuse Coalition will be holding its second annual Operation Medicine Drop event. Operation Medicine Drop is a program aimed at providing the public a safe and secure method of disposing of unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medications to reduce the accessibility of medication to small children and to prevent accidental poisonings.
The Pitt County Sheriff’s Office will be sponsoring the Operation Medicine Drop event on March 20th from 10a-2p in the lobby of the Pitt County Community Schools and Recreation building located at 4561 County Home Road.
The Sheriff’s Office will also be assisting the Pitt County Memorial Hospital Police Department with two additional event dates where citizens can deposit unwanted medications at the following locations:
• Monday, March 15th from 11a-2p in Pitt County Memorial Hospital cafeteria
• Tuesday, March 16th from 11a-2p at the East Carolina Heart Institute at Pitt County Memorial Hospital
