Authorities say you can stop pill abuse and theft by bringing in, potentially dangerous, expired, unused, or unwanted prescription drugs. It's free, anonymous, with no questions asked. Experts say this is a better way of getting rid of these drugs as opposed to to flushing or throwing them in the garbage.

Last April some 276 tons of unwanted prescription drugs were turned in at over 5.600 sites across the country.
