National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Recap

May 8, 2017 By Alex Windings

April 29 was National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, with more than 100 take-back events happening across the state. The events, which took place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., provided Tennesseans with a safe and convenient way of ridding their homes of unneeded medicine. Thousands of pounds of pills were collected and disposed of by law enforcement.

Check out some photos from across the state:
