The Rockville City Police Department and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office offer a safe, free and anonymous way to dispose of unwanted prescription drugs on National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, Saturday, Oct. 28.
In cooperation with the Drug Enforcement Administration, leftover – including expired – prescription drugs will be accepted from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Rockville City Police Station parking lot at 2 W. Montgomery Ave. To make it quick and convenient, officers will be outside with easy drive-up and drop-off access, so there is no need to leave your vehicle.
Illicit drugs, liquids, needles, sharps or syringes cannot be accepted, only pills or patches. The DEA will destroy medications. National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a convenient and responsible means of disposal, keeping prescription drugs from potentially polluting our drinking water, while educating the public about the potential for abuse or theft of these medications.
