MENLO PARK, CA - A kiosk has been installed in the lobby of the Menlo Park Police Department for residents to dispose of unwanted or expired medication, police said Thursday.

Medication can be disposed of during the lobby's business hours from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and every other Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The lobby is located at 701 Laurel St.

Residents can drop off medication in any form in its original container or in a sealed bag, according to police.
