Unwanted Medicine
Safely dispose of unwanted, expired and unused medicines for free at one of five public drop boxes in Ramsey County. Safe disposal of unwanted medicine helps prevent crime, drug abuse and accidental poisoning. Not flushing medicines down the drain or disposing of them in the trash helps protect our environment.
Please note: The medicine drop box located at the Maplewood Police Department has permanently closed. Find other locations to dispose of unwanted medicine below.
