West Virginia residents can turn in expired or unused prescription drugs at 125 locations statewide during the state's fourth Drug Take-Back Day.

The drugs will be collected from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at sheriff's departments and at local and state police offices.
 
West Virginia's event is part of the National Take-Back Day, sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The goal is to prevent drug abuse and to keep disposed drugs out of surface and groundwater. The service is free and anonymous.
