Prescription and Over the Counter Medication Take Back Sites

Don't throw your unused prescription or over-the-counter medication in the garbage, or down the drain. You can quickly and easily drop off unused items in one of the permanent medication take-back boxes found at several sites in our counties.  These boxes are free for the public and simple to use.

Items accepted for drop off:

  • Unused prescription medicines
  • Prescription patches
  • Prescription ointments
  • Over-the-counter medications
  • Vitamins
  • Medication samples
  • Medication for pets
