Saturday Is National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day
Locations around the St. Louis area will be collecting and destroying potentially dangerous, expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs this Saturday.
The sixth annual, national drug take-back day will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 27, with local officers partnering with Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) officials to execute this initiative locally.
Organizers said the overall goal is to prevent unused prescription medication from becoming available for abuse, and to keep unused prescription medication out of the nation's water supply.
In the five previous Take-Back events, DEA and state, local, and tribal law enforcement partners have collected more than 2 million pounds (1,018 tons) of prescription medications were removed from circulation.
