A permanent collection box is located in the department's lobby to encourage members of the community to remove expired or unwanted medication (prescription or over-the-counter) from their homes. This reduces access to addictive drugs for accidental or intentional misuse by individuals, particularly children. Medication disposal boxes also offer an environmentally safe, accessible, and convenient alternative to disposing of medication in the trash or sewer systems.  The collection box is available during the regular business hours of the Police Department public lobby Monday through Friday from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm.
