Former KS Atty General Derek Schmidt
(KNZA)--Kansans turned in nearly 5 tons of medications during last weekend’s National Drug Take-Back Day—the highest amount ever collected in Kansas during a take-back day.
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said local law enforcement officials collected 9,777 pounds of medications at 104 locations across the state—including the Brown County Sheriff’s office.
The semi-annual event was sponsored nationwide by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, which collects and safely destroys the medications. More than 22 tons of medications have been collected in Kansas since the program began in 2010.
Unused prescriptions can be turned in year-round at many local law enforcement locations—including the Brown County Sheriff’s office.
