This Saturday, local law enforcement will participate in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.
According to a release, expired, unwanted, and unused prescription medication can be brought to the Beltrami County Law Enforcement Center and dropped off in a red collection box in the lobby.
Now in its tenth year, DEA has collected a total of over 12.5 million pounds (more than 6,300 tons) of prescription medications through its Take Back Day events.
On Oct. 24, approximately 6,300 collection sites manned by nearly 5,000 partner law enforcement agencies will be open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time.
The DEA cannot accept liquids, needles or other sharps in this collection box.
