National Drug Take Back Day held Saturday
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — National Drug Take Back Day was held Saturday across the country.
In Sioux City, folks could drop off your unused prescriptions at either Hy-Vee located on Gordon Drive or the Hy-Vee on Hamilton Boulevard between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 Saturday afternoon.
People could also drop them off at Drilling Pharmacy in Morningside.
'The purpose of the national drug take back is to ensure a safe way to recover unused prescription pills and have everybody turn those in and feel comfortable about where they are ending up,' said Sergeant Anthony Vondrak of the Sioux City Police Department. 'Not having concerns about them ending up in the wrong hands, specifically children getting access or young adults and misuse of those prescription pills.'
If people missed Saturday's event, you could always drop off any unused prescriptions at the Sioux City police Department in downtown Sioux City.
