Law enforcement officers at locations across the state will be collecting unused medications for safe disposal on Saturday, October 26, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said today.

The collection events are part of a nationwide effort to safely dispose of leftover medications to prevent accidental or intentional misuse. Since the Drug Take-Back Day program began in 2010, more than 88 tons of unwanted medications have been collected and destroyed in Kansas alone.

Locally, medications will be accepted at the Coffeyville Police Department on Saturday from 9AM to 11AM.
