Drug Disposal Drop Off

The Northwood Police Department now offers a Safe Medication Disposal for its residents.  The medication disposal box allows residents to bring their unused, expired and unwanted medications and drop them into a secure place where the police department will destroy them appropriately.  

 

Medications can be dropped off at the Northwood Police Department's lobby, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

​

The purpose of this program is to provide environmentally safe alternatives to disposing of medications in landfill or sewer systems.  It also encourages residents to remove unwanted medications from their homes thus reducing the access to addictive medications for accidental or intentional misuse by children or others in the home.

 

For more information, please call the Northwood Police Department at (419) 691-5053.
