National Prescription Drug Take Back is Saturday

Check out these local locations to bring back expired or unwanted prescription pills this Saturday for National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.

Expired and unused prescription bottles are the number one thing cluttering medicine cabinets and bathrooms everywhere. The report was made yesterday at Southeast Butler-Jones University.

OK, that’s an exaggeration, and we just made up a school name. But if you do have unwanted prescription pills and are looking to dispose of them safely then you may be in luck.

National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is this Saturday, April 28, and a lot of our local police are hosting collections. Basically, you drop off your old meds safely for free.
