If you’ve got unused prescriptions, Kroger stores will double as collection sites April 28 to safely dispose of extra painkillers.

The event will be held on National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, which aims to help people dispose of unused prescription drugs to reduce the potential for medication abuse.
