Police and the Saint Joseph Youth Alliance will collect a couple of hundred pounds of old drugs Saturday. Police Sergeant Larry Stobbs says Saint Joseph is one of more than five thousand communities across the country in the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.

You’re encouraged to check homes and businesses for expired drugs and bring them to the Take-Back program for safe disposal. Stobbs says old drugs should not be flushed down the toilet because of potential water contamination. Bring your unwanted drugs to the collection site on the parking lot at East Hills between Sears and Dillards from 10 until 2 Saturday.
