Project Medicine Drop at SBPD Headquarters
The South Brunswick PD and the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs continue to provide the Project Medicine Drop box at the police department lobby. Project Medicine Drop allows residents to
safely dispose of unused, unwanted or expired medications 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We accept pills, capsules, patches and pet medications. We do not accept syringes/sharps or liquid medications.
Project Medicine Drop is an important component of the New Jersey Attorney General’s effort to stop the diversion and abuse of prescription drugs, including highly addictive opiate painkillers. Through this initiative, the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs installs secure “prescription drug drop boxes” at State Police barracks, sheriff’s offices, and police departments throughout the state, including two military installations and several college campuses, allowing citizens to safely dispose of their unused, excess, or expired prescription medications.
Members of the public are invited to visit the Project Medicine Drop sites and drop off any unused prescription medications anonymously and with no questions asked. Most Project Medicine Drop sites make this service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
By giving New Jerseyans a safe and secure method to dispose of unneeded medications, Project Medicine Drop helps prevent the abuse of these drugs. This initiative also protects New Jersey’s environment by keeping these drugs out of landfills and out of the water supply. More information about Project Medicine Drop, including the full list of Project Medicine Drop locations, can be found at

Instructions on Turning in Medicine:
Empty your medications into a plastic or ziplock type bag, tie or seal the bag and place into the drop box. Please do not put medication containers/boxes into the Drop Box.
The Drop Box is located in the lobby of the South Brunswick Police Department. Contact Property and Evidence Custodian John
Klemas @ 732-329-4000 Ext. 7447 if you have any questions.
