Disposal

You CAN help stem the tide of opioid abuse: more than 65 percent of people misusing painkillers get them from friends or family. Taking opioids responsibly means preventing misuse and abuse – never share or sell your medications and ensure proper disposal and storage.

Prescription disposal locations are offered year-round across the Mid-Shore. The collection sites and times are listed here. Twice a year local law enforcement offer a drug-take back day – please contact your local health department for more information.

If you cannot get to a drop box, please call your local health department and ask about medication disposal kits, which are free and easy to use.

PLEASE DO NOT DEPOSIT NEEDLES IN DROP BOXES!
