Prescription Drug Take Back Box Now at Roswell Police Department

Release:

The Roswell Police Department now has a secure box for disposing of unwanted prescription drugs. The box, which is located in the lobby of the Roswell Police Department (39 Hill St Roswell, GA 30075) is available during normal business hours and allows anyone to deposit the drugs in a secure way with no questions asked and no paperwork needed.

The box comes courtesy of the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (NADDI) and will supplement the DEA National Drug Take Back events we participate in twice a year. It helps prevent these prescription drugs from being abused and keeps them from being disposed of in other ways that can contaminate the water system.

The box is intended for pills, patches and powders and we ask that no liquids or needles be deposited. Packaging (boxes, bottles, etc.) can be included. The contents of the box are regularly removed and incinerated. Identifying information and labels do not need to be removed. While the intent of the box is to take prescription medication, we will not turn away over-the-counter medicine as long as it is a pill, patch or powder.
