Safe drug disposal available inside Brentwood Police Department

By Brentwood Police Department

Do you have unused or expired medications sitting in your medicine cabinet? As a reminder, the Brentwood Police Department lobby has a Safe Drug Disposal depository available for community members to safely and anonymously dispose of unwanted medications.

Properly disposing of unused medications helps prevent accidental poisonings, prescription drug misuse, and keeps medications out of our waterways and environment.

• The secure disposal depository is located inside the Brentwood Police Department lobby and is available during normal lobby hours. Informational signage in both English and Spanish is posted next to the depository and outlines what items are accepted for disposal.
• Please note: The depository does not accept sharps (needles, syringes, or lancets) or illicit drugs. Community members are encouraged to review the posted signage before depositing any items.

All medications collected are periodically serviced by the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office and transported to a DEA-designated facility for proper destruction.

Take a moment to check your medicine cabinets and dispose of any unwanted or expired medications safely.

The Brentwood Police Department is located at 9100 Brentwood Blvd.
