If you have expired or unused prescription drugs around the house, you can get rid of them safely on Saturday.

Saturday is National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, and state police will be collecting medications from 10:00a.m. to 2:00p.m. at both the Lansing and Jackson posts.

Studies show most teens who abuse prescription drugs get them from family and friends for free, from from their own homes.
