Creedmoor – Creedmoor Police Department invites the public to drop off their unused medication at the Operation Medicine Drop prescription drug take back event in Creedmoor on Saturday, October 28, 2023 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The goal of Operation Medicine Drop is to make sure unused or expired medication can be properly disposed of and kept out of the wrong hands. 

Dangerous prescription pills and medication could not only hurt our loved ones but wind up in our water system An average of four people per day are dying from an overdose in North Carolina with 79% of those deaths involving some type of opioid.  Due, in part to take-back events like these, the number of overdoses has decreased in the last few years.

Operation Medicine Drop (OMD) is a FREE drug take-back program that gives people a safe and secure way to dispose of unwanted over-the counter and prescription medications.

Since 2010, Operation Medicine Drop campaigns have successfully incinerated more than 300 million pills collected through permanent drop boxes and more than 4,400 events across North Carolina.
