#MEDICATION DISPOSAL NEAR ME HOW TO#
Our UMDP guidelines (PDF) provides a comprehensive list of items that are acceptable and unacceptable.įor further information on how to package your medication, before bringing it to the Police Department, or other questions regarding this program, please review our Frequently Asked Questions (PDF).
You may place your unused or expired medications into the collection box anonymously but must stop at the Police Department window to obtain a key to the collection box. The collection box is clearly marked for this purpose, locked and under 24-hour surveillance. The Batavia Police Department has provided a steel mailbox-style collection box in the front lobby of the City Hall, which everyone may use to deposit their unwanted or expired medications. This reduces access to addictive medications for accidental or intentional misuse by adults and children. Illegal drugs, thermometers, inhalers, lotions/liquids, aerosol cans, needles, and hydrogen peroxide are NOT accepted. Keep your family, community, and our water supply safe by letting us dispose responsibly. The program encourages citizens to remove their unneeded or expired medications from their homes. Feel free to drop off old, expired, or unused medications in our drug disposal kiosks at select Publix pharmacies. This program provides an environmentally safe alternative to disposing of medication in landfills or the sewer system that may later negatively affect the environment. The drug collection and disposal program provides a safe disposal location for everyone to properly dispose of unused prescription and non-prescription medications.
The Batavia Police Department is proud to offer an Unwanted Medication Disposal Program ( UMDP).
