Did you know you can discard outdated prescription drugs safely and securely? The goal of the Island Prescription Drug Drop Box Program is to promote the safe disposal of prescription medications to prevent misuse and ensure these items stay out of our water system. Return your outdated, unused controlled medications to us free of charge, to be destroyed in a safe and proper manner. No questions will be asked. Please be responsible about your medication disposal.
