In New York, it's always Drug Take-Back Day.

State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is expected Saturday at the Albany Community Development Agency to remind residents that medication drop boxes are available throughout the year.

His appearance coincides with National Drug Take-Back Day, when dozens of Capital Region sites are serving as locations where people can drop off their unused prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs.

"Having drop boxes available year-round in every part of the state gives consumers a safe place to dispose of unused prescription drugs, avoiding the possibility that they fall into the hands of children or others who may abuse or resell them," Schneiderman said.
