WIMBERLEY — Wimberley ISD Health Services, in partnership with the Hays County Sheriff’s Department Constables and Keep Wimberley Beautiful, will host a drive-thru for all unwanted prescription and over-the-counter drugs on Saturday, April 27, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Central Office parking lot on 951 FM 2325.
