SALT LAKE CITY — It's time for Utahns to clean out their medicine cabinets as the semi-annual drug take back day is taking over Utah on Saturday.Drug take back day has been happening for more than a decade and organizers say it's now more important than ever.
Hoping to put a dent in Utah’s problem, Gillespie said giving people a safe place to anonymously dispose of unused medications, especially opiate-based pain pills, is critically important. With fewer pills available, Gillespie said there will be fewer addicts looking for medication on the street, which can sometimes contain fentanyl.
While the event is happening Saturday, many police departments have bins set up year-round where people can drop off unused medications.
