  • Uptick in purging medicine cabinets

    The Drug Enforcement Administration’s second National Prescription Drug Take-Back event April 30 turned in more than 376,593 pounds (188 tons) of unwanted or expired medications for safe and proper disposal at the 5,361 take-back sites that were available in all 50 states. This is 55 percent more than the 242,000 pounds (121 tons) the public brought in during last September’s event.

    Los Alamos police joined forces with the DEA for the second year of the event.

    “The DEA developed this program to offer people a responsible way to dispose of their expired prescription medication,” Chief Det. Oliver Morris said, adding that expired prescription medications often accumulate in the home or from a loved one who has died.
