The Roseburg VA Medical Center is taking part in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take Back event on Saturday.

Residents can turn in unneeded and expired medication for safe disposal from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Sharps are not accepted.

In Roseburg, the event will be at drive-up canopy next to Building 1. In Lane County, people can go to the Eugene VA Health Care Center on Chad Drive. Look for the circular driveway.
