Precription drug drop box

Town residents looking to dispose of excess and expired prescription and over-the-counter medications can visit the safe, anonymous and secure permanent drop off location at the Monroe Police Department anytime it is convenient for them.

The Monroe Police Department has established this permanent drug collection box as a way to reduce the supply of drugs that can be potentially harmful to kids, the water supply and landfills.

Monroe is among the first area towns to provide a safe, secure and environmentally friendly way to collect unwanted or expired household medication, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs and unused pharmaceuticals. Monroe residents won’t have to wait for a specific take-back day to clean out their medicine cabinets.

Location: Monroe Police Headquarters (Lobby), 7 Fan Hill Road, Monroe CT 06468
