Help us keep our youth safe by properly disposing of unused and unwanted medications.
Somerville residents are encouraged to dipose of unwanted medications safely and properly. There is always a permanent Med Return Drug Collection Kiosk in the lobby of the Somerville Police Department, 220 Washington Street in Somerville. Disposal is free, anonymous and available 24/7. The following items can be deposited in the kiosk:
- Prescription and over-the-counter medications
- Pet medications
- Samples of medications
- Pills, capsules, inhalers, ointment and patches
- Vitamins
Remove any identifying information (like your name, address etc on the label) from the container OR place medication is a clear ziplock type of bag.
