Drug Take-Back Day

Drug Take-Back Day

The Rockville City Police Department will offer a safe, free and anonymous way to dispose of unwanted prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicine and pet medication on Saturday, April 25.

City police will accept leftover — including expired — prescription drugs from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in the Rockville City Police Station parking lot at 2 W. Montgomery Ave. RCPD officers will be outside with easy drive-up and drop-off access, so there is no need to get out of your vehicle.

Illicit drugs, liquids, needles, inhalers, glass containers, sharps or syringes cannot be accepted, only pills or patches. Bring medication in original containers or combine pills in a clear, sealed plastic bag for disposal. Returned medication will be destroyed by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

For more information about the city’s take-back event, contact Cpl. Ronnie Crowe at 240-314-8974 or rcrowe@rockvillemd.gov. Unused, unwanted or expired medication can be disposed of, with no questions asked, in a prescription drug drop box available to the public 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in the front lobby of the Rockville City Police Station. The drop box accepts only pills or patches; no liquids, needles, sharps, inhalers, glass containers or illicit drugs are allowed.
