How do I dispose of unused or expired prescription drugs?
The West Allis Police Department has a 24/7 drop-off site at 11301 W Lincoln Avenue. This drop-off site is funded by the West Allis-West Milwaukee Community Coalition. Items that are ACCEPTED include: prescription and over the counter medications, vitamins, medication samples, pet medications, inhalers and liquid medication in a leak proof container. Items that are NOT ACCEPTED include: illegal drugs, thermometers, bloody and infectious waste, hydrogen peroxide, aerosol cans, household waste, creams, ointments and personal care products. The process is simple. Just bring in accepted items and place them in the drop box located in the lobby. The items do not have to be removed from their bottle or packaging. Needles and syringes are not accepted at the WAPD drop-off site. See the FAQ on Sharps for how to dispose of needles and syringes. [West Allis City Channel video >>]
