Project Medicine Drop is an important component to help halt the abuse and diversion of prescription drugs. It allows consumers to dispose of unused and expired medications anonymously, seven days a week, 365 days a year, at “prescription drug boxes” located within the headquarters of participating police departments. Participating police agencies maintain custody of the deposited drugs, and dispose of them according to their normal procedures for the custody and destruction of controlled dangerous substances.
The Project Medicine Drop Box is located inside police headquarters (in the Police Records Lobby) at the Little Egg Harbor Township Administrative Justice Complex (665 Radio Road, Little Egg Harbor Township). The department also has a portable Drop Box that is often brought to community events.
Please note that liquids and syringes (needles) should NOT to be deposited in the drop box. For additional information on the safe disposal of unwanted medications, you can visit the New Jersey Department of Consumer Affairs website at: www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/meddrop/Pages/Safety.aspx
