Saturday is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day and many local police stations, hospitals, and fire halls are hosting drug drop-offs.
Western New Yorkers are encouraged to bring their unwanted, unused, and expired medications for proper and safe disposal, no questions asked.
Extra medication can pose a danger to the community if it falls into the wrongs hands.
Throwing the medication out in the garbage or flushing it town the toilet can cause environmental problems and pollute the water supply.
