Campbell United hosts prescription drug take back day

Saturday at the parking lot at Save-a-Lot

LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF)- Campbell United has a drug take-back event scheduled for Sat., Oct. 25, in La Follette.

“The event will be on Saturday, from 10am until 2pm, in the parking lot of Save-A-Lot,” said Charlsa Honeycutt, Director of the Campbell United Anti-Drug Coalition.

You are encouraged to turn in unneeded medication for safe disposal.

These Drug Take Back events are part of a national outreach effort by the Drug Enforcement Agency.

Campbell United participated earlier this year with an event at Woodson’s Mall and Veterans Park at Jellico. The event netted tens of pounds of unwanted prescription medications, keeping them out the hands of kids and out of the landfills and the water system.

Participating in these types of events is not only good for the community, but good for our coalition as well in getting grants, because the state loves when we partner and participate in these kinds of efforts, according to coalition organizers.  (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-10/23/2025-6AM)
