Putnam County’s prescription drug take back day, part of a nationwide effort by the Drug Enforcement Administration, collected double the amount of medication from last year.  The Putnam County Sheriff's Department, the local Health Department and the Putnam Communities That Care Coalition hosted the collection on Saturday and took in 317 pounds of medications.  More than 200 residents dropped off prescription, over the counter and pet medications as part of an effort to combat the misuse and the dangers of improper disposal.
