Dump Program
Disposal of Unwanted Medications Properly.
NEWS RELEASE! Rep. McMillin pushes for compliance with new "synthetic drugs" ban.
It's held the last Saturday of every month, from Noon until 4:00PM.
Location: Law Enforcement Center
Any and all prescriptions, over the counter medications and
all "Synthetic Drugs" can be dropped off at the Law Enforcement Center on the above times, no questions asked. Sgt. Wally Lewis is the contact person,
and the program is ran in cooperation with the Purdue Cooperative Extension Service and CASA. Needles are not accepted.
When people's prescriptions change, their drugs expire or are no longer needed,
these medicines are typically flushed or thrown away.
Pharmaceuticals thrown in the trash can leach into the environment; flushed drugs can
kill bacteria that break down waste in sewage plants, damage
septic systems, and contaminate nearby waterways and harm aquatic wildlife.
A 2008 Associated Press investigation found pharmaceuticals in the drinking
water supplies of at least 41 million Americans. In the course of a five-month inquiry,
the AP discovered that drugs have been detected in the drinking water supplies of 24 major metropolitan areas.
