The Inver Grove Heights Police Department, in partnership with Dakota County, have teamed together to offer the public a place to
dispose of prescription drugs safely and anonymously.
The drop box is clearly marked and located just outside the Police Department office door inside City Hall, 8150 Barbara Avenue.
- The closest entryway is on the west side of City Hall. The drop box is accessible during Police Department business hours, Mon.-Fri., 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
How to Drop Off Your Medicine
:
- Drop-off is safe and anonymous. No ID is required and no questions will be asked.
- Keep medicines in their original container and place them in a sealed, clear plastic bag (pills can remain in their blister packs).
- Use a marker to cross out your name on the medicine containers.
- Place medicine that is no longer in its original container in a clear plastic bag and write the name of the medicine on the bag.
Medicines Accepted from Households:
- Medicines from households are accepted in any form, including prescription, over-the-counter, and pet medications.
- No medicines from businesses, including health care facilities, long-term care facilities, pharmacies, doctors’ offices, and veterinary clinics can be accepted.
