HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS IN OUR COMMUNITY

The City of Dublin and Dublin Police are committed to working to end the opiate crisis in Central Ohio and around the nation. Prescription Drug Take Back events provide a free, safe way for community members to rid their homes of potentially dangerous, expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. This limits the exposure and abuse of drugs to community members. Events are bimonthly from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Dublin Justice Center. These are drive-thru events and don’t require you to leave your vehicle. Dec. 18 — Dublin Justice Center, 6565 Commerce Pkwy. What Can I Drop Off at Drug Take Back Events? • At this time, the service accepts pills, gel-caps and dry medications. • The service does not accept liquids, sharp needles, syringes, inhalers, epinephrine autoinjectors, lancets or aerosol containers. • It is preferred that medications be sealed in a zip-close bag when dropping off at events.

Use the 24/7 drop box located inside the Dublin Justice Center lobby, 6565 Commerce Parkway, near the Police Records reception window, to safely dispose of prescription drugs any time of year!
