ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Saturday, April 27 is National Prescription Drug Day – a twice-a-year event sponsored by the DEA encouraging people to take steps and remove unwanted, unused, or expired medications from their homes. The DEA says that this can help reduce medication misuse, opioid addiction, and drug-related violence. Multiple locations in the Greater Rochester Area are open to allow people to discard unwanted medication. Some of these locations are only for Saturday, however, there are multiple locations open year-round. Below are two lists — one for drop-offs on April 27 and another for year-round drop-offs.
