How should I dispose of prescription drugs or medications?
Prescription drugs should not be disposed of in your household trash or recycling. The Hagerstown Police Department, working with the Washington County Health Department, has installed a drop box at Police headquarters (50 N. Burhans Blvd.) where you can dispose of your unused or expired medications. The drop box is located in the lobby, and is open to the public Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The Washington County Sheriff's Department also has a prescription drug turn-in program that gives details on the way to properly dispose of these items.
