National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day

On Saturday, Blue Cross of Idaho and the Meridian Anti-Drug Coalition will partner for the fifth time to collect potentially dangerous and unwanted prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Blue Cross of Idaho in Meridian.

Treasure Valley residents may drop off prescription medications, including tablets, capsules, patches and other solid forms of prescription drugs.

Take-Back Day is part of a national effort to raise awareness and reduce prescription drug abuse in local communities.
