Thanks so much for posting information about our new, county-wide medication disposal program- Take It To The Box! Many community members worked long and hard to develop this innovative program to our county. Few communities have this type of disposal program- we are the second in Minnesota- but there appears to be increasing grassroots interest from across the country in addressing the need for safe medication disposal.

Just wanted to add a few things:
- Both over-the-counter medication AND prescription medication, for humans and animals, can be dropped off.
- We accept inhalers but not syringes or needles.
- This is a program for Rice Co. individuals. We are not able to take medication from businesses.
