Prescription medication take back washandled by the Patrick County Sheriff's department. With collecting a fullgarbage back of medications.The tire take back at the Transfer station in the afternoon was a successwith collecting 23,540 pounds of tires and filling an entire 74 foottrailer. Unfortunately, we did have to stop accepting tires as we did nothave another available trailer to place them in. Thank you to the employeesthat volunteered their time and the trustees that assisted with stacking thetires.To date we have over fifteen groups who have collected trash from ourroadways and entered data into our online form.
