Sandy Springs will participate in the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, April 30.

The event lets residents get rid of expired, unwanted or unused pharmaceutical drugs by dropping them off between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Sandy Springs Police Department, 5995 Barfield Road.

Last year, Americans turned in more than 121 tons of unwanted prescription drugs during the first “National Take Back” Day.
