The Hanover Township Police Department, in conjunction with the Hanover Township Board of Commissioners is pleased to offer the opportunity for the community to anonymously get rid of unused, unwanted9 expired and potentially dangerous prescription and non-prescription medications.
A permanent drug take-back container is now installed in the lobby of the Hanover Township Municipal Building, 1267 Sans Souci Parkway, Hanover Township, Pa. 18706.
This permanent take-back container allows not only township residents, but everyone, to safely and securely dispose of these medications. Acceptable items include prescription and over the counter medications in pill, liquid and cream forms. Sharpies and syringes are not accepted. The removal of medications from our homes not only allows these medications to be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner, it reduces the opportunity for our family members and others to get access to these potentially harmful medications.
This container is available Monday thru Friday from 8am until 4pm. Questions can be directed to Chief Eric Richardson at 570-825-1270.
