Gallia County Sheriff's Office, Gallia County Citizens for Prevention and Recovery (CPR), Meigs County Sheriff’s Department, Meigs County Prevention Coalition, and Holzer Health System were proud to offer a recent Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, October 26 at the Holzer Gallipolis Campus. October 26 was recognized by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) as National Drug Take Back Day, which is a safe, convenient, and responsible way to dispose of unused or expired drugs. In Gallia and in Meigs, there were 32 and over 60 pounds, respectively, of unused/expired prescription and over-the-counter medications collected, giving a grand total of over approximately 92 pounds collected.
