LECOM hosted a Drug Take Back event on Saturday in an effort to get old or unused medications or prescriptions out of homes.

Pharmacy students and professors of LECOM spent Saturday morning collecting people's expired or old prescriptions or drug related materials.

Officials said one of the dangers that come with not disposing drugs properly include drug diversion, which is when people take drugs not meant for them.

Officials with LECOM said if you missed the event, you can always drop off old medications at different pharmacies that have drug boxes or local police departments as well.
