Baltimore County, MD – The Baltimore County Police Department is reminding residents to safely dispose of expired or unwanted medications as part of its ongoing Drug Take Back Program.

According to the department, drug drop boxes are available at all 10 police precincts across Baltimore County. The boxes are accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, making it easier for residents to properly discard unused prescriptions.

Officials say the initiative helps reduce the risk of accidental ingestion, misuse, and environmental contamination that can occur when medications are kept or discarded improperly. The department encourages residents to regularly check their medicine cabinets and remove any drugs that are expired or no longer needed.

Residents can find drop box locations and additional program details on the department’s official website.
