Bookmark and Share

Citizens can drop off not needed or expired prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs at a new drug disposal facility. The new disposal container is permanently located at the MCSO District 4 Office, 37622 N. Cave Creek Road, Cave Creek, AZ.

A partnership between the Arizona Crime Prevention Association, Inc. (ACPA), the Arizona Attorney General’s office, Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) and the Town of Carefree has created this new way of removing prescription and over-the-counter drugs from your home.

Citizens are encouraged to use this new facility to dispose of drugs. Placing drugs in the trash or flushing them into the sewer contaminates the environment and is unsafe. Eliminating these drugs from your home removes the possibility they can be used inappropriately.
For any questions, please call 602-876-1742.
