Fall Drug Take Back

Saturday, Oct 24th is Drug Take Back Day! If you have any old medications, bring them to the Sheriff's Office, and we'll dispose of them for you!!

The front lobby will be open from 10am - 2pm

Bring: Prescription (controlled and non-controlled) and over-the-counter medications, ointments, patches, non-aerosol sprays, inhalers, creams, vials, and pet medications. Please place all pills in a sealed ziplock baggie. We do not accept prescription bottles or other containers.

Do Not Bring: Illegal drugs, needles/sharps, aerosol cans, bio-hazardous materials (anything containing a bodily fluid or blood), mercury thermometers, personal care products (shampoo, soaps, lotions, sunscreens, etc...), household hazardous waste (paint, pesticides, oil, gas).

Participants may dispose of solid, non-liquid medication(s) by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into a disposal box or into a clear sealable plastic bag. Plastic pill containers should not be collected. Blister packages are acceptable without the medications being removed.

Liquids will be accepted during this initiative. However, the liquids, creams, and sprays must be in their original packaging and evenly distributed within the boxes of collected solid prescription medications. Liquids without the original packaging will not be accepted.

As a reminder, Drug Take Back Drop Off bins are available year-round at The Adams County Sheriff's Department (24/7), Adams County Health and Human Services (during business hours), and The Adams County Community Center (during business hours)
