“Following a successful prescription drug disposal event last year, I am proud to partner up again with the Wood River Police Department in hosting another drop-off event,” said Rep. Elik. “This free service is a good opportunity for people to safely dispose of their expired and unwanted medications as it is unsafe to throw way or flush many medications.

Accepted Medications include prescription medications, prescription ointments & patches, pet medications, and vitamins. Prohibited Items not accepted: Needles, Illegal Drugs

The prescription drug drop-off is an outdoor drive-through event that allows attendees to remain in their vehicle. Drivers should follow the marked lanes when entering and exiting the parking lot.
