Prescription Drug Drop Box

Have expired or unneeded medications just sitting around the house? Stop by the Skokie Police Department and drop them off in the white Prescription Drug Drop Box located in the lobby.

The Prescription Drug Drop Box is accessible 24-hours a day, seven days a week. By disposing of your unneeded or expired medications in this manner, you are helping protect the environment and helping prevent drug abuse. Never before has safe, secure and environmentally responsible disposal been so simple.
