Drop off drugs today

The 20th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today.

The public can drop off drugs at several locations, including the Hayden Fire Station on Hayden Avenue; Post Falls City Hall and Miller’s Harvest Foods in Spirit Lake;

Acting U.S. Attorney Rafael M. Gonzalez Jr. wants to ensure that Idahoans are aware how to rid their homes of unused and unwanted medications. 

“Prescription medications often end up in the wrong hands, fueling an epidemic that kills more Americans than car accidents,” said Gonzalez. “DEA is providing an actionable way for our communities to step up and help combat this crisis by simply cleaning out their medicine cabinet.”
