National Take Back Initiative

The Homewood-Flossmoor Area Women League of Voters would like to encourage residents to safely dispose of their expired prescription medicines on National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, which is April 30.

Local drop-off locations include the Lansing, South Holland and Calumet City police stations and the Cook County Sheriff's Office at the Markham courthouse.

National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day was started by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
