WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - The public is getting another opportunity Saturday to rid home medicine cabinets of unused, potentially dangerous medications.
US Attorney for Kansas Barry Grissom spoke about the take-back program in Wichita today.
Nearly 1.6 million pounds of prescription drugs have been turned in over the past two years under the Drug Enforcement Administration's Take Back Day program.
Saturday will be the fifth take-back day. DEA and 4,300 local law enforcement partners are setting up 7,500 disposal sites, which will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
In Wichita the following sites will be accepting prescription drugs anonymously:
- Sedgwick County Zoo, 5500 W. Zoo Blvd.
