Residents can come to the Ashby Police Station to drop off their unwanted, unused, or unneeded prescription medications to be safely disposed of. Sharps and unwanted medications can be brought to the disposal bins located in the lobby of the Public Safety Building 24 hours a day.

• We can take prescription or over-the-counter medications, vitamins, medications for pets, and patches.
• Medicines can be in their original containers or in a sealed bag.
• Sorry – no liquids, ointments, lotions, inhalers, or aerosols.
• NO SHARPS in the Medicine Drop Box.

The Sharps Disposal Kiosk was purchased through a grant from Health Equity Partnership of North Central Mass (CHNA9). Community members who utilize the sharps kiosk are asked to follow several safety regulations:

• All sharps MUST be disposed of in a sharps container or puncture-resistant container like a one-gallon bleach bottle or a one-pound sealed, taped coffee can. If you need a sharps container, please ask! We have some available.
• DO NOT put loose needles in the kiosk. Use the small wall-mounted box for individual needles.
• DO NOT use a glass container or a bag of any type for sharps.

DO NOT leave any container outside of the kiosks.

Please ask for assistance if a kiosk is full.
