Unsure of what to do with unused or expired prescription drugs, residents in the Mid-Ohio Valley can drop them off at various locations as part of the National Take-Back Day program on Saturday. The day aims to provide a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs while also educating the public about the potential for abuse of medications.
