This Saturday offers opportunities around the Commonwealth to get old and unused prescription medications out of the house. One of the med toss events will be held in Lexington. Corey Doane is a lieutenant with Lexington Metro Police. Doane said opioids are just one type of drug accepted Saturday.
“We have many programs for that as well to try to get people into treatment. But, this is also a way if they have medicine..some type of pain medication of some sort and they don’t want anymore, they don’t want their children to get a hold of it. You know, that’s another big thing..you know pets and children,” said Doane.
