National effort to collect unused drugs takes place today

Saturday is designated National Drug Take-back Day.

The recognition is an effort to rid American homes of unused prescription drugs. Abuse of these drugs has become a growing problem across the nation. The effort has already disposed of nearly 500 tons of unused drugs over two years.

There are many locations accepting drugs in counties across Western New York. They can be found at www.nationalprescriptiondrugdropoff.com.

Saturday & Sunday 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.
