Ohioans turned in more than 35 thousand pounds of unused, expired or unwanted prescription drugs last month during National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. The event promoted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is intended to help residents safely dispose of opioids and other potentially harmful medicines that could be abused. The DEA and local law enforcement partners collected over 912 thousand pounds nationwide, 6 tons more than was collected in the spring.
