Dover Police Discontinue Use of Medication Drop Box / Participate in DEA Drug Take Back Day
The Dover Police Department has removed the medication drop box from our lobby at 400 South Queen Street, Dover, DE after there was an assessment done on how to best allocate resources.
While we remain committed to promoting public safety and preventing prescription drug misuse, the medication return box will no longer be available at our facility. We encourage residents to use alternative disposal locations to safely discard medications. Proper medication disposal helps protect our community by reducing the risk of substance abuse and preventing environmental contamination. We appreciate the public’s cooperation and commitment to safe disposal practices.
Additionally, The Dover Police Department will be participating in the DEA Drug Take Back Day on April 26th, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. During this time, you can bring old, expired, or unneeded medications for safe disposal. The location for this will be 400 South Queen Street Dover, DE.
