Residents can safely dispose of their unwanted and expired medications on Saturday at the Lawrence Police Department headquarters as part of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s annual Take Back Day.

According to a release from the police department, people can anonymously dispose of their medications at the headquarters, 5100 Overland Drive, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The DEA’s Take Back Day encourages people to “remove unneeded medications from their homes as a measure of preventing medication misuse and opioid addiction from ever starting,” according to the DEA’s website. For more information on the national program, visit dea.gov/takebackday.
