Prescription Drug Drop Box Program

Overview

Prescription opiates are often the gateway to heroin addiction. Prescription opiates are commonly found in many medicine cabinets. It is vital that old prescriptions be properly disposed to keep one’s family safe. Pills left unattended in a bathroom or medicine cabinet can be easily taken and misused.

Please utilize Cuyahoga County’s Rx Drug Drop Box Program to keep your loved ones safe. It’s easy! The Lakewood Police Department has a drop-box location in the lobby of the Police Department headquarters located at 12650 Detroit Avenue. 

Pills are the only accepted form of medicine; needles and liquids are not accepted at this drop box.
