Have you have been cleaning more than usual because of the pandemic, found old prescriptions while you were doing it, but are not sure where to take them, so they don't fall into the wrong hands?  Here is a list of places that you can bring these items, not just on 10/24/2020, but all year long.

Just a reminder, not only could the medications bring harm to persons who take them when they are not taken as dispensed, but they can also harm the environment when disposed of incorrectly.

Total Law Enforcement Participation: 4,896
Total Collection Sites: 6,174
