Kentwood PD accepts expired prescription drugs for disposal (controlled substances) 
Prescription drugs are the second most abused category of drugs, often by teenagers who find them in their family medicine cabinet. Further, expired prescription drugs are often flushed into our water table through the sewer system. The Kentwood Police Department is cooperating with other area police and water departments to provide a drop off location for disposal of prescription controlled substances. A drop box is located in the lobby of the Kentwood Police Department, 4742 Walma Ave SE, for anonymous disposal of expired or unwanted prescription controlled substances. Other drugs may be accepted for disposal at many area pharmacies. Do not leave unwanted or expired prescriptions in your home where they may be accidentally ingested or intentionally consumed improperly. If depositing prescription containers, please blacken-out personal information. The Police lobby is open from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. We will destroy collected drugs by incineration.
