Drug Drop Box Locations
Yates County Public Health promotes the safe disposal of medication in drop boxes.
Abuse of prescription drugs is a major public health problem in New York State. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet.
To help address this problem, the Yates County Sheriff's Office has established three permanent medication drop box locations throughout Yates County. Local area pharmacies and Penn Yan Police Department also have drug drop boxes.
Any unwanted, unused, or expired medication can be dropped off at any drop box location.
If you are unable to get to a drop box location, try using a safe at-home drug disposal method, like DisposeRx or Deterra Bags. Call Yates County Public Health at (315) 536-5160 to obtain a kit.
