Full Notification

The Berks-Lehigh Regional Police Department in cooperation with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Lehigh County District Attorney's office are proud to participate in the 2nd National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.

Proper disposal of unused prescription and over-the-counter medications is important to protect both people and the environment. Unused prescription and over-the-counter medications that remain in the home can cause serious harm to people if they are taken accidently, intentionally misused or inappropriately given to someone else. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet. Unused medications that are flushed down the toilet or poured down the sink can enter the water supply, harming fish and other wildlife and posing a potential risk to people.
If you have unused medications to get rid of, bring them to a local collection site on Saturday, April 30th between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

The Berks-Lehigh Regional Police drop off point is located at 37 Grim Rd Breinigsville, PA 18031 (The police sub-station)

Note: Do not bring hazardous wastes, sharps such as used needles, or illegal drugs.
