Walker County now joins several surrounding counties in getting its own drug drop box.

The Georgia Council on Alcohol and Drugs provided the prescription drug drop box. It is located in the lobby of the sheriff's office, just behind the courthouse in Lafayette.

It is accessible, 24 hours a day, and Walker County residents can dispose of expired or unused prescription medications for proper disposal, including pet medications.  

The Chattooga County Sheriff's Office also recently added a drug drop box for the same purpose that is available to all Chattooga County residents.
