Saturday is drug take-back day

Prescription drugs with words 'Dispose unused Rx'

Undated - Tomorrow is the second National Prescription Drug Take Back Day of the year. The 31st-event is hosted by the U-S Drug Enforcement Administration. More than 4-thousand-400 collection sites will be set up across the country to dispose of unneeded, expired, and unused prescription medications. Officials will collect tablets, capsules, patches, and other forms of medications. They will not take syringes, sharps, liquids, or illicit drugs.
Prescription opioids are among the most frequently misused prescription pain medications… and removing unneeded medications from the home reduces the risk of misuse or accidental ingestion. To find a take back location near you, go to DEA-TAKE-BACK-DOT-COM.
