Residents may get rid of unwanted leftover prescription medications on Saturday, Sept. 27.
The National Drug Take-Back Day will have several sites for residents to bring in old medications to be disposed of safely. The National Drug Take-Back Day is coordinated by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, which collects and safely destroys the medications.
“Unused medications are dangerous for kids, pets and the environment,” Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said. “Getting these leftover medicines out of the medicine cabinets keeps them from falling into the wrong hands and makes our communities safer.”
The locations in Wyandotte County include:
DeGoler’s Pharmacy, 5701 State Ave., 2040 Hutton Road, 21 N. 12th,; Walgreens, 2850 State Ave., 7739 State Ave.; South Branch Library in Argentine area, 3104 Strong Ave.; CVS, 4645 Shawnee Drive, 4300 Rainbow; and Hen House, 8120 Parallel Parkway.
