State Police participating in prescription drug take-back

(Harrisburg) — People who want to safely dispose of unwanted, expired or unused prescription drugs have a free option this Saturday.

The service is anonymous – no questions asked.

In the middle of a drug addiction crisis, disposing of unneeded prescription drugs is considered critical because some people first get their supply of drugs by raiding a family member’s medicine cabinet.
