UNUSED MEDICATION DISPOSAL now available at Lower Pottsgrove Township Police Department:
The Lower Pottsgrove Police Department now has a Med Return box installed in the police department main lobby. The box is generally available for access between
8:00 AM and 7:00 PM Mon-Fri. Anyone can come into the station and drop your unused medications into the secure container without being questioned;
NO ID IS REQUIRED AND NO OFFICIAL POLICE REPORTS ARE DONE. This is a self-service disposal site. We ask that you do not use the container to dispose of any syringes, sharps or liquid medications.
Additional instructions are posted on the box.
If you are unable to drop your unused medications off during regular office hours, you can arrange to have an officer return to station if they are
available. The officer will then permit you access to dispose of your unused medications. All collected medications will periodically be turned over
to the DEA for proper disposal.

Recent Federal regulations require most municipalities to adopt new methods to help improve the
quality of stormwater runoff to the creeks and streams. An important aspect of these requirements is
raising public awareness of the importance of the issue and advising the Township residents how they
can help in reducing stormwater pollution. Township residents can learn more about these new regulations
and the need to improve stormwater quality by visiting the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) stormwater website at
http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/stormwater_management/10628 or by reviewing the many helpful pamphlets available on the
Township's
Stormwater Managment webpage. |
