Drug Take Back Program
Lincoln Police Department offers area residents a year-round Drug Take Back Program, at the Lincoln Police Department, 710 5th Street.
Residents of Lincoln can bring their unused or expired medication to the police station at any time to be dropped off.
When over-the-counter or prescription medications are expired or no longer needed, they should be removed from the home.
Many people believe that the best way to dispose of unused or expired medications is to flush them down the toilet. However, this pollutes our waterways and adversely affects wildlife and plant life along our streams and rivers.
The Drug Take Back program gives residents a safe way to dispose of these types of medications.
Simply gather up your unused, unwanted and expired medications and bring them to the Lincoln Police Headquarters.
