Safely Dispose of Unwanted Medications

As the nation prepares to recognize National Prescription Drug Take Back Day this Saturday, April 27, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office encourages you to take the time to go through your medicine cabinet and remove any unused, unwanted, and expired medications. After gathering your prescription and over the counter medications, you can safely dispose of them utilizing an anonymous and secure lock box located at our district substations and main headquarters.

Lock boxes are available to the public Monday through Friday during regular business hours at the following locations:

Central District | Headquarters – 14750 Six Mile Cypress Parkway, Fort Myers

North District – 121 Pondella Road, North Fort Myers

East District – 1301 Homestead Road North, Lehigh Acres

West District – 15650 Pine Ridge Road, Fort Myers

South District – 10520 Reynolds Street, Bonita Springs

Please make sure you:

Bring all medications, including prescription and over the counter in a sealed plastic bag.

Do not bring needles or other “sharps” as they can not be accepted.
