The Adams Township Police Department has obtained a Drug Drop Box designed to significantly reduce the prescription drugs in American homes that are either no longer needed or are outdated. These same drugs have unfortunately become the target of theft and misuse, oftentimes by people who have access to the residence. More and more adults recognize the need to remove these substances from the home, and legally and safely turn them over to law enforcement for proper destruction.
The drop box is located in the lobby of the main floor of the municipal building located at 690 Valencia Rd, Mars PA 16046. Residents can drop off unwanted medications Monday through Friday 7:30am – 4:00pm.
Items that are permitted in the drug box are prescription medications, prescription patches, prescription ointments, over the counter medications, vitamins, samples, and medications for pets.
Items NOT permitted in the drug box are needles (sharps), thermometers, hydrogen peroxide, inhalers, aerosol cans, ointments, lotions, and liquids.
We recommend anyone dropping off medications scratch off or remove personal information from the bottles.
