Prescription Drug Drop Box / Sharps Disposal

The Dalton Police Department has a prescription drug drop off box for anyone looking to properly dispose of unused and unwanted prescription drugs.

We do not accept:

 

The benefit for using the drop box is to prevent the drugs from otherwise being flushed down a drain which could pollute our water system and to prevent opportunity for theft and abuse of prescription medication.

We would like to the thank Retired District Attorney David Capeless for providing the Dalton Police Department with the drop box that will benefit our community.

 

Drop off locations:
