MEDICATION TAKE BACK

Metro Drug Coalition is proud to partner with local law enforcement to reduce the number of unused, unwanted, and expired medications in homes around our community. Disposing of your medications properly reduces the risk of substance misuse and environmental harm caused by flushing or throwing medications away improperly. Items dropped off are kept anonymous and no questions asked.
