How to properly dispose of old medications

Lexington County Sheriff's Department: Project Rid-A-Med

The Lexington County Sheriff's Department has set up 10 locked boxes in readily accessible locations throughout Lexington County to deposit any unwanted or outdated prescription medications for proper disposal. Properly disposing of unwanted medicines keeps them out of the wrong hands and reduces the impact on our environment. For more information, contact the LCSD Crime Prevention Unit at (803) 785-8230.
