It's time to clean out your medicine cabinet.
The federal Drug Enforcement Administration is holding a drug take-back day Sept. 25.
The agency says that old medicines that languish in cabinets often end up abused or misued even if the owner of the drugs isn't aware of it.
The rate of prescription drug abuse is growing by the day and the DEA says that most abused drugs are taken from family or friends - including from someone's home medicine cabinet.
The drive will also give people a safe way to get rid of old drugs. Many people throw them away or flush them down the toilet, which can be a hazard to the environment.
This is the first-ever drug take-back day hosted by the federal government. It runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is free and anonymous. Click here to find a collection site near you. It will be updated regularly.
