Law enforcement officers at locations across Kansas will be collecting unused medications for safe disposal on Saturday.

The collection events are part of a nationwide effort to safely dispose of leftover medications to prevent accidental or intentional misuse. Since the Drug Take-Back Day program began in 2010, more than 101 tons of unwanted medications have been collected and destroyed in Kansas alone.

Medications will be accepted at drop-off sites across the state from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. To find a location, visit http://www.ag.ks.gov and look for the “Drug Take Back Day” button under the “Quick Links” heading.
