What is the Take It To The Box Program?

The “Take It To The Box” program promotes the safe use, safe storage, and safe disposal of unneeded medication, prescription medication, illegal drugs, and drug paraphernalia.

Take It To The Box is a program for Scott County residents to dispose of unneeded prescription and over-the-counter medications, pet medications, illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia, ANONYMOUSLY, at NO CHARGE.

Scott County is serious about preventing substance misuse and we encourage citizens to dispose of unneeded medications in an environmentally safe way.

A Drug Disposal Box is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day at:

The Jordan Police Department
705 Syndicate Street
Jordan, MN

ALL DROP-OFFS ARE ANONYMOUS!

Items accepted include:

Unused/expired prescription medicine
Over-the-counter medications
Animal/pet medications
Liquid medications (must be in leak-proof containers)
Illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia (such as pipes and other objects)
Epi pens WITH MEDICATION as long as there is NO exposed sharp

Before disposing of medication into the box please do the following:

Take Medications to a drop box.
Leave Medication in the original container.
Remove your name and personal information.
Keep the name of medication on the container and closed.

To dispose of used syringes, please put them in an empty coffee can or detergent bottle, label it “Used Syringes”, tape the cover or cap on the container, and place in your garbage bin. Please do not put used syringes in your recycling bin.

Illegal drugs and/or drug paraphernalia can be put in a paper bag or other container for privacy before dropping them into the disposal box.

If you have a large amount to dispose of, please put them in more than one bag so the container does not jam.

The “Take It To The Box” program is funded by local law enforcement agencies; the Scott County Drug Prevention Committee; and the Scott County’s Sheriff’s Office. The program is operated by the Scott County Prevention Coalition, Scott County Public Health, and Choose Not To Use
