Senior Medicare Patrol will host a free prescription drop off and document shred event on Tuesday, June 19 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Milwaukie Center, 5440 SE Kellogg Creek Drive, Milwaukie, OR 97222. Milwaukie Police will dispose of unwanted or expired medications. Syringes, aerosol cans and liquids are not accepted. For more information, contact Senior Medicare Patrol at 503-655-8269, option 4.
Thanks to a partnership between the county's Health Centers and Public Health divisions, our Beavercreek Health Clinic and Hilltop Behavioral Health Center have prescription drug boxes available for anyone to drop off their unused or expired prescription drugs.
Dropping off these drugs serves several functions, which include: The decreased chances for the user to become addicted to the drug, the decreased chances for someone who enters a person's home (via social gathering or other means) to steal the prescription drugs and use it themselves or sell them on the streets and finally, the decreased chance that these drugs will be flushed down toilets which end up contaminating local waterways.
As you may know, opioids are a serious public health issue, not only here in Clackamas County, but across the country. Locally, Clackamas County, Multnomah County and Washington County have teamed up to address the problem. Learn more through a video produced by our Public and Government Affairs cable channel.
