Prescription Drug Disposal Program

City of Florence Oregon Official Website

The City of Florence is pleased to announce that the prescription drug drop box is once again available at the Florence Justice Center. The prescription drug disposal drop box will be available to the public Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., in the lobby of the Florence Justice Center located at 900 Greenwood Street, Florence, Oregon. 

This is a great way to safely dispose of your outdated or unused prescription and over the counter medications. Due to the construction of our box, and its relatively small size, please do not package any containers together in boxes or bags, and we do not accept any liquid medications.  We also do not accept any sharps (used needles or lances) at the location. 

We hope this convenient disposal option can help keep our families safe and our waterways clean here in Florence!  This box is intended for use by the public, it is not intended for usage by commercial facilities.  

For more information please contact the Florence Police Department at 541-997-3515 or PeaceHealth Siuslaw Region, Director of Pharmacy at 541-997-8412.
