The Lenexa Police Department is teaming up with the Olathe Police Department for National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. It's part of a nationwide effort that will allow people to turn in unused, unwanted and expired prescription and over-the-counter medications on Saturday, Sept. 25.

The event is a safe way to dispose of unwanted prescription medications. It's also is intended to educate the public about proper disposal of medications and the threat of substance abuse among young children and teens when old medications are left around the home.
