The Peoria Police Department is holding a drug drop off this weekend for residents to safely and anonymously remove unnecessary controlled substances from their medicine cabinets.

It’s part of a national take-back day in collaboration with the Drug Enforcement Administration that aims to keep drugs from getting into the wrong hands. The Police Department says it will accept prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

The collection is Saturday from 10 a-m to 2 p-m in the department’s lobby.
