You can safely dispose of old medications at the PPD 5th and 39th Districts, as well as at the Lower Merion Police Departments. These locations have a secure drop box for unused drugs. Depositing unused medication here helps keep them out of reach for those who are prone to drug abuse. (Learn more here)
