Rx Dropbox: Police Department provides prescription medicine drop box
The Palmyra Police Department recognizes that everyday prescriptions used by our residents were being improperly disposed of. After researching the problem our department purchased a medications drop box from MedReturn in 2011.
The box was purchased with drug forfeiture funds and placed in the lobby of police headquarters. We are proud of the fact that our medications drop box was the first in Burlington County.
