Prescription Medication Drop Off

You can now dispose of your unused and expired household medications, safely and securely, at any time: 24/7/365 at the Union City Police Department, 3715 Palisade Ave, Union City, NJ 07087. The special Project Medicine Dropbox looks like a mailbox but it is clearly marked.

Project Medicine Drop is an important part of New Jersey’s solution to this problem, and the Union City Police Department has joined this important initiative.
