(KNZA)--Several local law enforcement agencies will be participating in the National Drug Take back event Saturday.
They include the Brown, Jackson and Nemaha County Sheriff's Offices, along with Sabetha Police Department.
Residents can drop off their unwanted, unused or expired medications from 10 to 2. Injectable and needles are not accepted.
The items collected are then turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration for safe disposal.
Brown County Sheriff John Merchant says he believes its a very worthwhile event that provides citizens an effective way to dispose of medication they no longer need or use. He noted his office collects medications year round, 24 hours a day.
