Medication Disposal

Citizens looking to dispose of unwanted, excess and expired prescriptions and over-the-counter medications can use the safe, anonymous and secure permanent drop off box located in the lobby of the Winslow Twp. Police Department. This will help reduce the supply of drugs that can potentially harm teens and adults while also protecting the environment from the improper disposal of these drugs. Properly disposing unwanted drugs is everyone’s responsibility as a matter of public health and safety. More than 70 percent of young people abusing prescription pain relievers get them through friends or family, a statistic that includes raiding the family medicine cabinet.

The lobby of the Winslow Twp. Police Headquarters is open to the public, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Discarded items are processed as “abandoned property” and safely incinerated. They can be dropped off free with no questions asked and no forms to fill out. Please, do not bring liquid medication, needles or medication from businesses or clinics.
