Want to Get Rid of Unwanted Prescription Drugs?

The Lower Merion Police Department has announced that it has become one of nine Montgomery County jurisdictions to establish a permanent location where the public may safely, conveniently and responsibly dispose of unused and unwanted prescription drugs throughout the year, at no cost.

The drop-off location, known as a MedReturn Box, will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is at the Lower Merion Public Safety Building, at 71 East Lancaster Avenue in Ardmore.

The location is set up as a safe, confidential and free means to dispose of unwanted, unused or expired prescription drugs and over-thecounter medications. (Needles and other sharp items are strictly prohibited, due to safety concerns.)

National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day takes place on April 27.
