WRIGHT COUNTY, Minn. – The Wright County Sheriff's Office and Health and Human Services are hosting a prescription drug take-back day for people who need to dispose of their old prescriptions.

Takeback Day will offer two drop-off locations on Saturday, October 26th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

One will be at Corbon's Grocery Store in Albertville (5698 La Center Ave.) and the other will be at Citizen's State Bank in Montrose (145 Nelson Blvd.).

No liquids will be accepted and those dispensing medications are asked to keep them in the original container with the label removed. If you cannot remove the label, the sheriff's office will ask you to black out the identifying information.

Any medication no longer in its original container should be sealed in a resealable plastic bag.

Both locations will be driven through with limited contact.
