The Chesterfield County Police Department, in partnership with Bon Secours St. Francis Watkins Centre and SAFE, Chesterfield's substance abuse prevention coalition, will help residents safely dispose of expired and unneeded medications on Saturday, July 14.

Chesterfield County Police will host a Medication Take-Back Day on July 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Bon Secours St. Francis Watkins Centre, 601 Watkins Centre Parkway. Police and volunteers will be on hand to collect unused or expired prescription, over-the-counter and veterinary medications.
