Drugs Are Bad, Mmkay? LBPD's Take-Back Day a Big Success

On Saturday, the hosted its third drug take-back day, where people could drop off their unused and old prescription and over-the-counter medications for proper disposal, as opposed to merely tossing them carelessly into the trash or flushing them, where they would wind up polluting the ocean.

Or polluting bloodstreams, if someone happened to find discarded drugs that weren't prescribed to them.

The drop-off point was the parking lot. Several students from the Drug Prevention Council were also on hand to help out.

This was the most successful of the previous take-back days. Five boxes weighing more than 125 pounds were filled with meds by the end of the four-hour take-back period.
