All you have to do to dispose of any medications you don't want, just drive up to the building and hand them to the police officers standing outside. They are making it super easy for you and fast too because you won't even have to get out of your car.

Items That Will Not Be Accepted

They can not accept: synergies or any type of sharps, inhalers, aerosol cans, mercury thermometers, and iodine-containing medications.
