MERIDIAN, Miss. (Queen City Newsfeed) — Residents will have an opportunity to safely dispose of unused and unwanted medications during a DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back event scheduled for Saturday, April 25 in Meridian.
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Sam’s Club, 715 Bonita Drive.
