The program is anonymous and no questions or requests for identification will be made.

Controlled, non-controlled, and over the counter substances will be accepted. The public may dispose of medication in its original container or by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into a disposal box. If an original container is submitted, you are encouraged to remove any identifying information from the prescription label by either removing the label or utilizing a permanent marker.

All solid dosage pharmaceutical products and liquids in consumer containers will be accepted. Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original container. Please make sure the cap is tightly closed to prevent leakage.

Intravenous solutions, injectables, syringes, chemotherapy medications, and medical waste WILL NOT be accepted due to potential hazard posed by blood-borne pathogens.
