Past Events:

RX MEDICINE DROP-OFF DAY
Saturday, June 27 from 10 A.M. to 1 P.M.
Clean-out your medicine cabinet and bring the contents to the Quincy Police Station. Studies show that children can begin a lifetime of drug addiction simply by opening the medicine cabinet at home. Drugs such as OxyContin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, codeine, Percocet, Darvocet, Vicodin and Lortab have all been linked to opiate addiction. Also there is concern about medications in the water supply not being adequately cleared by water treatment plants. Never flush medicine of any type down the toilet or drain.

What to Bring: In original container, all pharmaceuticals (prescription and over-the-counter) will be accepted. This includes pills, liquids, capsules, inhalers, patches, etc. Pet meds accepted. Include all expired prescription medicines and any non-prescription medicines more than 2 years old. Antibiotics should be disposed of regardless of expiration date. Old skin care products can become tainted with bacteria and harm your skin–some experts suggest disposing of anything you haven’t used in three months. Black-out personal information from all prescription bottles. Please preserve the part of the label that identifies the medication if at all possible.
