Volunteers in Milan participated in National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Saturday, April 24th, collecting expired prescription drugs at the Milan Police Station.
It s part of a national effort from the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Volunteers say they collected about two garbage bags full of expired medications. They say that s down from years past, but one volunteer says it s still important to go through cabinets at home and properly dispose of anything that is expired. Those are all hazardous after a while and you need to get, dispose of them, keep them out of the reach of children, Volunteer Pat Vincent says.
