CANTON, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – Stark County has its own Drug Takeback Day, and it happens Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

So gather up old prescription bottles or other potentially dangerous unused medicines and bring them to one of 14 different dropoff locations, including Aultman and Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospitals.
