It’s time again to check those prescription pill bottles that have been sitting around for a while to see if you still need the medication inside.
The director of the Governor’s Office of Drug Control Policy, Dale Woolery, says Saturday is another “National Drug Take Back Day.”
“In hundreds of different communities across Iowa this Saturday from 10 until 2, there will be special collection sites,” Woolery says. He says there’s been progress in not overprescribing painkillers that can end up in the wrong hands but he says there are still cases of leftover medications.
