The old practice of flushing drugs down the toilet needs to be stopped!

Each Unified Police Department precinct has a prescription drop-box located in their lobby. Here’s some quick info you need to know before dropping off your expired medications.

Drop-offs are available during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The following drugs are accepted:

• Prescription medications (Schedule II through V controlled substances and noncontrolled substances)
• Over-the-counter medications.
• All common dosage forms, such as tablets, capsules, ointments, and patches are accepted.

The following are NOT accepted:

• Illegal drugs
• Needles
• Lotions or liquids
• Inhalers
• Aerosol cans
• Thermometers
• Hydrogen peroxide

For safety and security purposes, drop boxes are locked. Precinct staff have keys to open the boxes; please do not leave medications on the top of the bin.

Walk-ins to precinct lobbies are closed. However, precincts will still accept medication drop-offs. Simply call the precinct office prior to your arrival to ensure someone is there to help you.
