Sanford, FL – Seminole County residents can now safely dispose of old, expired, or unwanted prescription medications through the Sheriff’s Office Prescription Drug Drop-Off Box program, available at four locations across the county. The free and anonymous service operates Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
According to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, the initiative helps prevent prescription drug misuse, protects the environment, and keeps medications out of the wrong hands. Residents can drop off medications—excluding liquids and needles—at any of the following Sheriff’s Office lobbies:
- Main Office: 100 Eslinger Way, Sanford
- East Region Office: 1225 East Broadway, Oviedo
- South Region Office: 120 West Pineview Street, Altamonte Springs
- North Region Office: 805 Primera Boulevard, Lake Mary
No questions are asked during drop-off, and participation is encouraged for anyone looking to clear out unused medications responsibly.
The Sheriff’s Office emphasized that proper disposal is a key step in community safety, helping reduce accidental poisonings and prescription misuse.
Residents are urged to take advantage of the program this week and help “keep Seminole County safe.”
