The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs has developed Project Medicine Drop as an important component of its effort to halt the abuse and diversion of prescription drugs. It allows consumers to dispose of unused and expired medications anonymously, seven days a week, 365 days a year, at “prescription drug drop boxes” located within the headquarters of participating police departments.
Each Project Medicine Drop box is installed indoors, affixed to the floor or wall in a secure area within police department headquarters, within view of law enforcement officers, in an area to which members of the public may be admitted to dispose of their unused medications. Their prominent “Project Medicine Drop” logos make the boxes highly visible and recognizable.
This initiative builds on the success of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Take Back Initiative, and the American Medicine Chest Challenge, which is sponsored in New Jersey by the DEA, Partnership for a Drug Free New Jersey, and Sheriffs’ Association of New Jersey. Both programs provide single-day opportunities to drop off unused medications at pre-identified, secure locations.
Project Medicine Drop provides the opportunity to discard unused prescription medications every day throughout the year. The participating police agencies maintain custody of the deposited drugs, and dispose of them according to their normal procedures for the custody and destruction of controlled dangerous substances. They report the quantity of discarded drugs to the Division of Consumer Affairs on a quarterly basis.
For safety reasons, the Project Medicine Drop boxes can only accept solid medications such as pills, patches, inhalers, and similar objects.
The boxes cannot accept liquids, medical waste, or syringes. Consumers wishing to dispose of these objects should speak with their doctors or pharmacists to find the safest and best ways to dispose of them.
It should also be noted that consumers may only dispose of legal prescription or over-the-counter medications. Anyone wishing to dispose of any illicit drug, should follow the normal procedure of reporting it to the police.
Burlington City’s Drop Box is located in the lobby of City Hall (when you walk in, look to the left by the police department entrance).

Straight to Treatment allows anyone struggling with addiction to walk into a police station at designated times, be assessed by certified professionals, and be referred to a treatment program immediately. Participants seeking help will not face charges or be arrested even if they come in high or are carrying drugs, and police officers will work with municipal courts to help clear warrants and court dates to facilitate entry into treatment.
The program was developed to combat the opioid epidemic, as law enforcement and community partners realized they needed additional resources than traditional criminal justice paths to deal with the issues surrounding addiction. They created Straight to Treatment to get people seeking help quick and immediate assistance after hearing stories of long waits and insurance issues delaying entrance into programs.
Insurance is not necessary to receive treatment, and neither is residence in Burlington County. For more information please visit
