The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency is asking, "Got Drugs?"
As part of a "National Prescription Drug Take Back Day" the Michigan State Police and the DEA will collect accumulated unwanted, or unused prescription drugs. The goal is to safely dispose of the medications.
State police say the service is free and anonymous, and drugs may be dropped off without questions.
Drop spots will include 29 state police posts.
You can find the drop off locations here.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The DEA says this is the fifth "Take Back Day" they have organized. Last April, the agency says "a record-breaking 552,161 pounds (276 tons)" of unwanted or expired medications were turned in for disposal.
DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart says the effort is part of the fight against prescription drug abuse.
"While a uniform system for prescription drug disposal is being finalized, we will continue to sponsor these important take-back opportunities as a service to our communities. Our take-back events highlight the problems related to prescription drug abuse and give our citizens an opportunity to contribute to the solution."
