Prescription Drug Drop-Off: The prescription drug drop-off portion of the event will be from 8:00 a.m. –2:00 p.m. Community members can bring any outdated, unused or unneeded prescription drugs to be disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly way. In addition to prescription medications, this site will also accept used or unused medical sharps for destruction. If sharps/syringes are being dropped off, we ask they be separated from the other items. This site will also accept unexpired diabetic supplies/medications for donation to Insulin for Life (IFL). IFL is a non-profit organization which directs donated supplies to help patients in over 74 developing nations.
Document Shredding: The document shredding portion of the event will be from 8:00 a.m. –11:00 a.m. Community members can bring up to three large file boxes per vehicle. Advanced registration is not required; however, this is first come, first serve. Once the shred trucks are full, the shred event will be over.
Drop-offs for both the prescription drugs and document shredding will be collected in a drive-through area, and no information is collected from participants.
