    True – North Escambia has been left out again.

    All the locations listed are 9 Mile Road and South.

    They need Prescription Drug Take Back Day at a North Escambia location – Century and Walnut Hill at the Fla/Ala Line.

    Why should folks go to the trouble of getting these prescription meds if they were not needed in the first place…

    It drives me nuts when people make comments on a article they read and the answer to their comments are written in the article. Please before you comment read the article and try to comprehend what you read.

    Just wondering why it seems that Gonzalez north is left out of this kind of stuff. Do they not realize more citizens would participate if it was made more convenient? Again North Escambia left out

    Joy it says National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.

    So one would assume not just your narcotics.

    Is this just for narcotics or all prescription drugs?
