ROCK ISLAND, Illinois (KWQC) - Rock Island County residents had the opportunity to safely dispose of unwanted prescription medications Saturday during National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.

People could drive up to one of seven drop-off locations across the county between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., including the Rock Island County Justice Center and the Moline Police Department.

The event was a collaboration between the Rock Island County C.A.U.S.E. Coalition, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and local police departments. The drive-up drop-off service was free and anonymous.
