EUGENE, Ore. -- Unused or expired drugs now have official drop-off locations. On Saturday, dozens of locations across the state will be available for this sole purpose.

Lane County residents will have two locations in Eugene and Springfield where they can turn in their unwanted medicines. The Eugene Water & Electric Board and the Springfield City Hall will both be open between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday to accept unwanted or expired household medicines.

The Oregon Medical Association Alliance, Community Action to Reduce Substance Abuse and Oregon Partnership, who are sponsoring the drug disposal sites, say the disposal will keep drugs out of the hands of people who might abuse them and also keep drugs from polluting the environment.
