Safely dispose of your prescription drugs!
Unused prescription drugs that remain in home medicine cabinets are highly susceptible to misuse. Make sure to dispose of your unused and expired medicine in an environmentally friendly manner. Lake County offers many locations where you can drop off your medicine in a free and safe way. Remember not to place medicine in the trash/recycling, and never flush them down the toilet as it pollutes the environment and waterways.
Participating locations: Mundelein - Deerfield - Fox Lake - Grayslake - Gurnee - Lake County Sheriff/Marine/Highway Patrol - Lake Forest - Libertyville - Mundelein - Round Lake Beach - Round Lake - Zion - and many more including several Walgreens locations
Our Lake Zurich Police Department has a Medicine and Sharps Disposal Box available 24/7.
They are located at 200 Mohawk Trail, Lake Zurich, IL 60047
Know someone that's seeking for help?
“A Way Out” is a Lake County, Illinois Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion pilot program, designed to fast-track users to substance abuse programs and services. This program is offered 24 hours a day, 365 days per year at participating police departments across Lake County and ensures no criminal charges will be sought for those that may be in possession of narcotics or paraphernalia, as long as assistance is sought out by the prospective program participant.
