The Omaha Police Department is taking part in the "DEA National Drug Take Back Day" this Saturday, October 29th.
Anyone with unused medication can safely dispose of it between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the following locations: Hy Vee at 7910 Cass Street, Hy Vee at 132nd Street and West Dodge Road, and Walgreens at 3005 Lake Street.
Police point out, too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands, with dangerous and tragic results.
They say "Drug Take Back Day" gives people an opportunity to empty medicine cabinets and turn in prescription drugs safely and anonymously.
