Expired or unused medication can be dropped off at either the Lake Orion Police Department, 21 E. Church St., or the Oakland County Sheriff’s Orion Substation in the Orion Township Municipal Complex, 2323 Joslyn Rd.
All prescribed medications, narcotics, pills and capsules, patches and pet medication can be dropped off for safe disposal.
Needles, syringes, injectables, liquids, IV medication, inhalers, personal care products, aerosol cans and thermometers will not be accepted.
Be sure to remove all medication from the original container and place them in an unmarked zip-lock bag prior to drop off.
