Taylor and Dunn celebrate “Take it to the Box”

The MTFYADU was instrumental in starting the “Take it to the Box” project which gives Rice County residents two places to safely dispose of their no longer needed prescription drugs. This takes potentially dangerous medications out of circulation, and protects the environment by disposing of the medications in an environmentally safe way.

Northfield’s Public Safety Director, Mark Taylor and Rice County Sheriff, Troy Dunn, discussed “Take it to the Box” with KYMN’s Jeff Johnson in this interview.
