Mooresville Police Department to Hold Drug Take-Back Event
MOORESVILLE, NC – Mooresville Police Department and Iredell County Safe Kids Coalition
will host a drug and syringe take-back event Tuesday, March 19, 2-5 p.m. at HealthSmart
Pharmacy, 594 N Main Street, Mooresville.
This initiative is designed to help the public prevent prescription drug abuse and theft by ridding
their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs and
syringes. The public can dispose of personal prescription medications and syringes at
HealthSmart Pharmacy on March 19 or drop them off at the Mooresville Police Department’s
drug drop box, located at 2487 Charlotte Highway, 24 hours a day.
Since this initiative began in 2012, Mooresville Police Department has collected and destroyed
more than 11,444 pounds of prescription drugs through take-back events and the drug drop box.
Drug deactivation kits for home use, poison prevention information, and drug lock boxes will
also be available at the March 19 event.
