Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Participates in National Drug Take Back Day

Drop off your unused, unwanted, and expired medication this Saturday, April 27th, from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. at the Highlands Ranch Substation located at 9250 Zotos Drive.

Medicine take-back options are the best way to safely dispose of unused or expired prescription and nonprescription (for example, over-the-counter) medicines.

Before disposing of prescription medicines, be sure to remove all personal information on pill bottle labels and medicine packaging.  All of your medicines dropped off at the take-back locations will be destroyed.

  • Accepted items:
    • Any prescriptions of pills only. Empty items into plastic bags for easy, anonymous disposal
    • E-cigarettes as long as they do not have a battery.
    • Liquid products, such as cough syrup, if it is in the original container with a tightly sealed cap.
    • Over-the-counter medications.
  • Items that cannot be accepted: Thermometers, needles (sharps), medication/medical waste from businesses or clinics, liquids, and ointments not in their original containers.
