Drug Take Back Day is a national effort that happens every October, aiming to keep prescriptions and other drugs out of the wrong hands, and out of the water supply.
"People come in with multiple bags filled with medications. They'll have a years worth waiting for this event to come up, because they know that it's here, and they can drop off," Neal said.
"So you want to dispose of that medication and not keep it around the house, especially if you have small children that could have access to it," Neal said.
