Details

In May 2010, Albany Police installed a permanent drop-box in the department lobby, 1117 Jackson St. SE., where citizens may drop off any unwanted or expired over-the-counter or prescription medications (including pet medications) for safe disposal. Police personnel will collect and destroy the medications in a safe and legal manner by incinerating them at a nearby facility. Medications may be dropped off 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The drop box was donated by the United States Postal Service and refurbished by Oregon Powder Coating, Albany Lock and Key Service, and Xtreme Grafx.
