1.6 TONS: Prescription drug take back days have been happening in Truckee/North Lake Tahoe since 2010, allowing locals to safely dispose of unneeded or unwanted medication. The events happen twice a year, with 1.6 tons of pills disposed of since the first event eight years ago. Of the medications handed over, 10 percent are opioids.
