What do I do With Prescription Drugs?

The Manchester Police Department and the Winhall Police Department have partnered with The Collaborative to collect prescription drugs. When dropping off medications, community members are asked to place their expired or unused RX pills or patches in their original bottle or in a disposable bag. Personal information should be removed so that the drugs can be anonymously dropped in the RX drop box.

The Manchester Police Department is located at 6039 Main Street/Rt.7A, Manchester, VT. The Winhall Police Department is located at 107 Route 30, Bondville, VT. For other drop off locations please click here.
