Prescription Take-Back Day is Saturday

South Dakotans are encouraged to safely dispose of unwanted prescription drugs during the next Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Take-Back Day on Saturday, Oct. 23.  

Unwanted medications can be disposed of without question at the Brandon Police Station on Saturday or at any other time, Police Chief Jamie Steffel said.

The Spring National Take-Back Day on April 24 was extremely successful this year in South Dakota with 1,651 pounds of medication collected for destruction through participating law enforcement locations. This is in addition to the 703 pounds collected through the take-back receptacles in retail pharmacies in April.
