National Prescription Drug Takeback Day is Saturday. (Renee Schiavone/Patch)
WESTLAKE, OH Overdose deaths are rising in Ohio and across the U.S. To stymie the spread of narcotics and fight drug addictions, law enforcement is holding an event to collect unwanted prescription medications.
On Saturday, National Prescription Drug Take Back Day will be held across the U.S. Westlake residents can drop off their unwanted prescriptions at the Westlake police garage, 27300 Hilliard Blvd. This is the same collection site Westlake police have used in the past.
Participants can dispose of tablets, capsules and other solid forms of prescriptions at the event. Liquids, syringes and other illegal drugs will not be accepted. Vaping devices will be accepted if the accompanying lithium battery has been removed.
