The Albany Police Department is proud to once again collaborate with the Drug Enforcement Agency to provide a safe, free way for you to easily dispose of your potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted medications. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
Residents should keep medicine/pharmaceuticals in the original container and leave the drug name intact. Black out personal information, including names, prescription numbers and doctor’s name.
What will be accepted:
· Community members can safely dispose of expired cough syrups, vitamins, unused medications and empty inhalers.
· Controlled substances (narcotics and those with potential for addiction/abuse) will not be accepted at either drop-off location.
The drop-off event is strictly from 10:00a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, 2013 only. Medications will not be accepted at any other time. People who cannot attend the event should properly dispose of their expired medicines at the Oakland Household Hazardous Waste facility located at 2100 East 7th Street. It is open Thursday, Friday & Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
