DEA Drug Take Back Day removes unwanted medications

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo.

Saturday marked DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency) Drug Take Back Day, an opportunity to safely dispose of unwanted medications.

At the Dellwood Recreation Center, one of several drop-off locations around St. Louis and across the nation, the goal was taking medications off the street before they turn into drugs or drug abuse.
