Locally, area residents will have an opportunity to drop off their unused, unwanted or expired medications from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at two locations:

East Liverpool City Hospital- Main Entrance, 425 W. Fifth St., and SRMC Professional Services Building (across from Salem Regional Medical Center), 2094 E. State St.

How to Participate
