The Atlanta Police Department will take part in a drug take-back day on Saturday.

Do you have some prescription drugs you don't need any more? Worried that curious kids could get into trouble if they poke around your medicine cabinet?

Here's your chance to safely dispose of those drugs. (You do know you shouldn't flush them down the toilet because that's bad for the environment, right?)

The Atlanta Police Department will accept your unwanted prescription drugs from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday at six drop off points around the city.
