REMINDER: *Saturday, April 24 10am to 2pm*
Our Department will once again be taking part in the Drug Enforcement Agencies annual "Take Back Initiative" to help properly dispose of expired or unused Prescribed Medications:
Day of the Event - April 24, 2021 (Saturday) at 10am-2pm:
(Also, keep in mind, that we have a Medicine Drop Box available 24/7 365 days a year, located in our PD lobby)
* The Designated Collection Site is the Sea Isle City Police Department, 233 JFK BLVD, Sea Isle City NJ, 08243, 1st Floor Lobby.
* This program is anonymous and all efforts should be made to protect the anonymity of individuals disposing of medications. No questions or requests for identification should be made. Individuals should deposit medication freely and independently.
* No effort should be made by law enforcement to count, inventory, or log medications. Law enforcement personnel should not handle the medications at any time.
* The individual may dispose of medication either in its original container or by removing medication from its container and disposing directly into the drug disposal box. If the original container is submitted, the individual should be encouraged to remove the prescription label if it contains any personal identifying information.
* Liquid products, such as cough medicine, should remain sealed in their original container. The depositor should ensure that the cap is tightly sealed to prevent leakage.
* Syringes and other sharp instruments should not be accepted.
* DEA will collect v**e pens or other e-cigarette devices from individual consumers ONLY after the batteries are removed from the devices. It is important to stress that the DEA is not responsible for removing the batteries from the devices.
