Prescription Drug Roundup Nets 121 Tons

An article from the Associated Press:

"A Daylong, Nationwide effort to get people to turn in old or unwanted prescription drugs collected more than 121 tons of unused medicine.

With prescription drug abuse on the rise, the goal was to keep drugs from falling into the hands of abusers and criminals. The Drug Enforcement Administration organized the national prescription drug "Take-Back" day on September 25th. Officials offered people across the country a free, anonymous and legal way to get rid of potentially dangerous prescription drugs that have been cluttering medicine cabinets".
