Prescription Drug Drop-Off
The Safe Prescription Drug Drop-Off Program is available to all residents to drop off unused or expired prescriptions - no questions asked.
Police officers will check the boxes daily, collect the contents and prepare for disposal that is eco-friendly and in accordance with Federal and State laws.
This program helps protect the environment and deter the use of prescription drugs by unintended persons.
Drop-Off Guidelines
- This program is for household medications only. Businesses are not eligible.
- Pour non-liquid prescription medication into a Ziplock-style bag and discard the plastic bottles.
- All needles and sharps should be placed into a rigid, puncture-resistant container 1 gallon or less in size with a tight-fitting lid.
- Do not use milk jugs, glass containers, cardboard boxes, paper or plastic bags, or CRV containers.
