Medication Disposal Drop Box

IMG_0918The City of North Bend is pleased to announce that the citizens of North Bend now have the opportunity to drop off unused prescription medications in a Medication Disposal Drop Box located in the lobby of the police department. Waste Water Treatment Supervisor Bob Dillard and North Bend Police Chief Steve Scibelli worked together with the help of the United States Postal Service to obtain the drop box. Maya Graphics provided the graphics for the box.

The purpose of the Medication Disposal Drop Box is to reduce the quantity of unused medications entering the environment and amount of drugs available for diversion, thief, or accidental poisoning.

Medications flushed down the toilet or drain can contaminate ground water.

The drop box is for unused or expired medications, pet medications and inhalers.

Please do not drop off illegal drugs, needles, syringes, hazardous waste, lancets, mercury products or electronic glucose monitors.

Citizens are encouraged to drop off medications in the drop box at the police station from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week.
