On Saturday, September 27th, 2014, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Raytown Police Department will give the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. The public may bring medications for disposal to the parking lots of Raytown City Hall, 10000 E. 59th Street, or Apple Market, E. 350 Highway and Raytown Road. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
During this event, officers will be accepting unwanted prescription medications, but will not be accepting aerosols, inhalers, hypodermic syringes or other sharps.
The Raytown Police also have a receptacle for citizens to deposit their unwanted prescription drugs at any time. The mailbox-shaped, steel box is located in the lobby of Police Headquarters. The public may drop off unwanted prescription and over the counter drugs, excluding sharps/syringes, and pressurized aerosols/inhalers, at any time, anonymously. The box was donated by the Public Water Supply District #2 as a means to protect the public and our water supply.
