This Saturday (April 25th, 2026) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Harrisonville Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.

Bring medications for disposal to CVS at 300 S Commercial St. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

For everyone's safety, please remember that the following cannot be accepted:

- Needles (including insulin and allergy pens)

- Sharp Objects

- Liquids and lotions

- Inhalers

To dispose of liquid medications, mix with cat litter and throw away.

To dispose of sharps, place them in a laundry detergent bottle, tape the lid closed, and mark "sharps" on the outside.

These restrictions help to maintain a safe environment for both the public and our employees. Thank you for helping us keep our community safe!
