Dispose-A-Med
The Pima County Sheriff's Department will be hosting Dispose-A-Med events intermittently throughout the year. These events are offered free of charge thanks to a grant provided by the Department of Justice.
Tablets, capsules, liquids, and creams will be collected. Metal or glass inhalation aerosol bottles, syringes, and epi-pens will not be accepted. For safety and confidentiality reasons, any items turned over for collection cannot be returned. We do not accept drugs from commercial organizations. For information about the disposal of needles and syringes, please visit the Pima County Health Department website.
2013 has been very successful! During our last event held on May 4, 2013 we collected 403 pounds of medication. To date, we have collected over 943 pounds. We wish to thank all those who participated in getting these unused or expired drugs off the street.
