Help Stop Prescription Drug Abuse. Dispose of Unwanted Medications Saturday, 9-Noon, at Hamilton County Locations

Indiana has one of the highest rates of drug prescriptions with 109 prescriptions for every 100 Hoosier residents according to the CDC. The state also ranks high in prescription drug abuse, especially among juveniles abusing prescription drugs. Help rid the streets of prescription drugs by disposing of them properly this Saturday, October 28, from 9AM-Noon at Riverview Health in Noblesville (east parking lot), CVS in Cicero, and Farmers Bank in Sheridan.

Drop off locations accept pills, capsules, patches, ointments, over-the-counter medications, samples, and pet medications. We cannot collect liquids, needles/sharps, aerosols, inhalers, or hazardous materials. Liquids should be mixed with cat litter, oil dry, or coffee grounds before being packaged in plastic and disposed in the garbage. Needles and sharps should be taken to Hamilton County Household Hazardous Waste, 1717 Pleasant Street in Noblesville. More information on sharps disposal is at https://www.hamiltoncounty.in.gov/266/Sharps-Disposal-Program.
