The Geneva Police Department, in partnership with Delnor Hospital, would like to announce the launch of our new Prescription Drug Disposal Program. This program is designed to promote the importance of safe drug utilization while educating the public about the use of medications in order to decrease the risk of drug catastrophes. It is further designed to give residents of the City of Geneva a safe, secure, and environmentally friendly way to dispose of unwanted, unneeded or unsecured prescription medications. Medications left unsecured in the home can lead to medication misuse, resulting in serious health consequences for adults and children. The Geneva Police Department will begin accepting unwanted prescription medications at the Geneva Police Department, 20 Police Plaza Geneva, Illinois on May 4th 2010. Anyone wishing to dispose of unwanted prescription medication simply needs to bring it to the lobby of the Police Department. The Geneva Police Department’s Prescription Drug Disposal Program will not accept used/unused needles, medication from businesses, pharmacies, nursing homes, or medical offices.

Julie Pouilly, Geneva Coalition for Youth; John Carlson, Carlson Tools; W. Richard Hoster, Smith & Richardson Inc., Bob Black, Black’s Auto Rebuilders and Delnor Community Hospital. Without their dedication and contributions this program would not have been possible.
