Howard Lake Drug Drop Program

The Howard Lake Police Department, in partnership with Wright County Environmental Services, is a participant of an ongoing Drug Drop Program for all of Wright County to provide a secure and environmentally sound method of medication disposal. 

In order to provide an alternative to tossing or flushing unwanted drugs, and allowing the possibility of them getting into the hands of children, please dispose of your personal items safely and securely in a drug drop receptacle located in the hallway at City Hall.

The Drop-Off Depository is accessible during regular business hours. Leave the items in the original containers. If you wish, mark out any personal information on the containers, but please leave the name of the drug on the bottle. 

All drop offs are anonymous and confidential. 

NO QUESTIONS ASKED-JUST STOP AND DROP- 

Items accepted:

  • Unused medications
  • Outdated medications
  • Any Illegal drugs or narcotics
  • Veterinary medications
  • Medical ointments & lotions

Let’s work together to keep our community safe and clean.
