(KLZA)--The Drug Enforcement Administration will host the 17th annual National Take Back Day, Saturday, April 27 at designated sites across the country.
Individuals will be able to dispose of unwanted, unused and expired medications in a safe and secure way.
The Omaha Division for the Take Back events covers the states of Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota.
People are encouraged to look through their homes and those of their elderly friends and family who may have unused, unwanted or expired medications and drop them off at a Take Back site.
Local Take Back sites on Saturday, April 27 will include:
Community Medical center at 3307 Barada Street in Falls City.
Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn at 2022 13th Street.
Johnson County Hospital at 202 High Street in Tecumseh.
U-Save Pharmacy at 1821 11th Street in Nebraska City.
The Indian Health Center Clinic at 3340 B Thrasher Road at White Cloud, KS.
By safely disposing of these medications, the DEA hopes to reduce the potential misuse and abuse of powerful, addictive opioids.
