The Huron Police Department is giving residents the opportunity to safely dispose of un-needed and out-dated prescription drugs at their convenience. A permanent MedReturn drug collection unit is now in place near the police dispatch window at the Huron Municipal Building. Huron Police Public Information Officer Sergeant Brandon Neitzert says the box will not replace bi-annual scheduled collections done nationwide in conjunction with the U-S Drug Enforcement Agency…
Neitzert says they have seen traffic at the secure collection container but don’t have specifics on how much medication has been turned in….
Neitzert says the restrictions in place for the spring and fall collections remain in effect for the MedReturn box at City hall, including no needles or sharps. A list of prohibited items is posted on the container. Those who have questions about the prescription collection box should contact the Huron Police Department.
