Dispose of Drugs: POD Drop-Off Boxes in Emmet County

POD-drugs

Unfortunately, drugs can not currently be collected for redistribution or recycling. But northern Michigan is fortunate to have the best available legal option: drop-off boxes at area law enforcement agencies.

Drop-off boxes are available year-round during regular public hours. For information on drug disposal options in other counties, visit the PillsInThePod.com.
