Beech Grove Program for Disposal of Outdated or Unwanted Medications

The City of Beech Grove has a program allowing citizens to dispose of unwanted or outdated medications. We ask that you not dispose of these items in your trash or flush them down the toilet. The disposal container is located in the front lobby of the Beech Grove Police Department, which is located at 103 Main Street. Listed below are the types of medications that will and will not be accepted.

ACCEPTABLE ITEMS:                       

• Prescription Drugs
• Prescription Patches 
• Prescription Lotions
• Prescription Samples 
• Prescription Liquid Medication (in leak proof containers)
• Over the Counter Medications, including vitamins 

UNACCEPTABLE ITEMS:

• Needles (Sharps)
• Aerosol Cans or Inhalers
• Bio-Hazard or Infectious Waste
• Thermometers
• Food Items
• Ointments, Lotion or Liquid 

You can access the disposal container in the front lobby of the police station 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You simply walk into the lobby and place your medications in the container and leave, no questions asked. This program is part of the CLEAN Community Challenge that the City of Beech Grove is participating in through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM).
