INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana residents who have prescription drugs they no longer want or need can get rid of them on Saturday.

The Drug Enforcement Administration has posted a list of locations where Indiana residents can get rid of their unwanted drugs at http://1.usa.gov/24ndUwf . All members of the public are invited to anonymously drop off any unneeded medications for safe disposal from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

The DEA cannot accept liquids or needles or sharps, only pills or patches. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

All but four of Indiana's 92 counties now have permanent prescription drug take-back sites. For a list of permanent prescription drug take-back locations, visit www.BitterPill.in.gov and click "Medication Disposal."
