On Saturday, city employees will be at the Reasor's stores at 71st and Sheridan and 41st and Yale and at the Save-A-Lot at Pine and Lewis from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. 

In addition to Saturday's event, the city says residents can take unwanted prescription drugs to one of the city's three police stations or the Tulsa County Sheriff's office Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m:
