The goal of the medication drop-box program is to keep unused/unwanted medications out of our water supply and out of the hand of individuals who might abuse them.
The St. Joseph Government Center has a drop-off location that is available to the public 24/7 and it is located on the western side of the building.
If medications are in a glass container, put them in a padded envelope
You do NOT need to remove any identifying labels from the bottles. Privacy is of the highest importance and the labels are never viewed.
For large quantities, please call 320-259-3700 to arrange disposal
This program is for household use, not commercial. Businesses should contact their waste management vendor for medication disposal information.
Sharps are not accepted
