"We'll take over-the-counter medications as well. We're primarily just trying to get anything that might be potentially dangerous whether for abuse or overdose. We're trying to get it out of people's homes," said Sarah Pullen with the Drug Enforcement Administration.
In the first two Take-Back days, more than 300 tons of drugs were turned in and according to Pullen, were incinerated.
