The public may begin dropping off their unwanted medications anytime on Monday through Friday from 8a.m. until 5p.m.

Eufaula Police Department’s New Prescription Drug Drop Box

Dr. Wags points to the new Prescription Drug Drop Box

The need for this prescription drug drop box was seen last year, according to Chief Steve Watkins, as the Eufaula Police Department collected 28 lbs of prescription drugs at their Prescription Drug Take-Back Event. This drop box is a wonderful alternative to the previously held event, as citizens of the community can remain anonymous when disposing of their unwanted medications. Unwanted medications have long been a source of problem across the United States, causing water and land pollution and endangering citizens. This drop box seeks to curb accidental or criminal use of old medications, remedying these issues we face in our community.
