SAFE STORAGE

Even legal drugs can be gateway drugs. Four out of five people addicted to heroin tried prescription opioids first. Prevent diversion by locking up prescriptions and disposing of leftovers.

SAFE DISPOSAL

Proper medication disposal is essential to prevent accidental poisoning (especially in children), stop medication abuse, and protect the environment from chemical contamination. It ensures harmful substances, particularly opioids, do not fall into the wrong hands or contaminate water supplies, while ensuring the safety of household members and pets.

Our office has a drop box the lobby of the Chowan County Public Safety Center (305 W. Freemason St. Edenton, NC 27932). Please note that medication is removed DAILY and not left in the drop box overnight. 

Prior to dropping off old, unused or found medication, please contact us at (252)-482-8484 to let us know you’re coming or by stopping at our window.
