MedReturn Box

Safely dispose of unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medicines

A MedReturn Box is available to the community at the University Park Campus in the 30 Eisenhower Parking Deck (South Side) Lobby during normal business hours. The Box provides a way to safely and securely dispose of unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medicines, helping keep them away from children, pets, and the water supply.
