The Garland Police Department and the Garland Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association want you to participate in Operation Medicine Drop. Garland residents are asked to clean out their medicine cabinets of unused or expired medications and prescriptions. Then bring them to the Garland Police Department building at 1891 Forest Lane or the Old Fire Station #4 at 3424 Broadway. Drop-offs can be made between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Garland Police will dispose of these expired and unused medications properly.
 

 

Don't throw away or flush your medications. Bring them to our drop-off locations and we'll dispose of them safely.

 

We are providing the community a safe way to dispose of unwanted medications while keeping them out of the wrong hands, as well as, protecting our water supply from contamination by pharmaceutical chemicals.

We will accept all forms of medications (pills or liquids). Please remove or mark through your personal information on all labels. All medicine bottles are recycled.

This program is organized and managed by the Garland Police Department with support from the Garland Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association. If you have any questions regarding this program, please call the Garland Police Department at (972) 205-2041.
