Area community service agencies are teaming up with law enforcement to take part in another national prescription drug take-back day. The idea is to keep old prescriptions from ending up on the black market or flushed into the water supply. You can drop off old prescription medicines Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Roanoke Civic Center, Tanglewood Mall, the Salem Police Department or the Daleville Kroger.
