South Dakotans are encouraged to take part in National Drug Take Back Day
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) – National Drug Take Back Day falls on Saturday, April 27, and it offers Americans a chance to anonymously dispose of expired or unwanted medicines. Unused medications can be hazardous – particularly to young children and pets who might come across them.
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley spoke about the benefits of National Drug Take Back Day and South Dakota’s past success in the campaign.
“It gets the dangerous drugs away from kids and grandkids to avoid an accident,” Jackley said. “And we’ve been able to receive over 53 thousand pounds of medicine.”
Participating locations in Rapid City include Boyd’s Drug Mart, Walgreens, The Medicine Shoppe, Monument Health, Oyate Health Center, and the Pennington County Public Safety Building.
