Law enforcement collecting unwanted medications Saturday

Posted

This weekend metro law enforcement agencies will team up with businesses to collect unwanted and unused medications.

Drop-off sites will be set up at area Hy-Vee's and Walgreens along with Police Departments.

The drive runs from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday.

The Drug Enforcement Agency puts on the drug take-back day each year.

Last October, the drive collected more than 730,000 prescription drugs.

Drop-offs will be set up at three Hy-Vee's and two Walgreens in the metro. The Hy-Vee at 156th Street, 178th Street and N. 132nd are accepting unwanted medications. 

The Walgreens at W. Center Road and the Q Street location will also be taking medications.

Two other drop-offs will be available in Ralston and La Vista.
