Medication Disposal Drop Box

Dispose of your old medications safely and legally by using the Berks County Medication Disposal Drop Box located in the lobby of the Muhlenberg Township Municipal Building locate at 210 George Street, Reading PA 19605. Medications are collected in many forms including: tablet, liquid, ointment, inhaler, powder or patch.

The pharmaceutical/medication drop box disposal program will allows Berks County residents to discard unused or unwanted medication year round at secure locations.

This program provides numerous benefits to the community. :

• An opportunity to educate the community about the dangers these medications pose, if left unwanted in homes or improperly discarded.
• A positive connection between Berks County citizens, the township police departments, the Berks County District Attorney’s Office, the Council on Chemical Abuse, and Berks County Solid Waste Authority.
• A decrease of water contamination due to pharmaceutical medications being flushed down the drains in our homes, or contained in our landfills.
• A reduction of access to addictive medications for accidental or intentional misuse by children or others in the home.

Each drop box is securely placed and locked within a township municipal police building where it can be protected. These drop boxes resemble a United States Postal Service mailbox, whereas there is an open door to collect medications, but once dropped they cannot be retrieved. Each box will also have a separate locked entry for Berks County District Attorney Detectives to retrieve the discarded medications. Inventoried medications will be incinerated at the discretion of the Berks County District Attorney’s Detectives and Solid Waste Authority.
