Safe Drug Storage And Disposal

Safely store opioids and dispose of unused prescriptions.

To protect the people you care about and the environment, dispose of unwanted and unused prescriptions in one of Delaware’s prescription drug drop boxes. Refer to the list below to find a location near you.

Safe storage for handling prescription drugs:

  • Take prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications exactly as prescribed.
