The Drug Drop Box is located outside the west entrance of the Dickinson County Courthouse in Spirit Lake.DCSO PhotoThe Dickinson County Sheriff's Office has a Drug Drop Box in place that allows access for those members of the public wanting to discard expired, unused, or unwanted prescription drugs and medications for safe disposal. The mailbox-sized drop box is permanently mounted at the west entrance of the Dickinson County Courthouse.
Citizens may access the drop box anytime day or night and may do so anonymously. Any and all types of unwanted medications and drugs, including illegal drugs, may be placed in the container. However, for the safety of all involved, it is asked that no needles or sharps be dropped in the box. We also request that no liquids be left in the box. The drop box will be emptied on a daily basis.
Drug Drop Boxes are provided by law enforcement agencies to allow citizens a safe and convenient way to dispose of expired, unused, or unwanted prescription drugs and medications. This helps to prevent drug abuse and unintentional overdose deaths and helps keep discarded drugs from contaminating landfills and the water supply.
