The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will hold collections of unwanted medication from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 26 at four area sites.

State police will collect medication in its barracks at 200 Barracks Road off Route 356 in Butler Township.

Cranberry Township police will do the same in the township municipal center at 2525 Rochester Road.

Saxonburg police will be in the borough building at 420 W. Main St.

Grove City police will be in the Rx Xpress at 111 Mill St.

There is no fee and participants remain anonymous.

This initiative is meant to reduce prescription drug abuse and health hazards from flushing drugs in the toilet or throwing them in the trash.
