SARTELL - Sartell residents can drop-off their unused prescription drugs at the police station.

The police department has installed a "Drug Take Back Box" in the lobby.  It's available during their regular business hours from 7:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.

There are padded envelopes available, if your medications are in glass containers.  You're asked not to drop needles into the box.

The drug take back boxes help reduce drug pollutants from entering landfills, and contaminating water supplies.
