Recently, the CU Boulder Police Department installed a MedDrop kiosk in the lobby of the Police Department and Parking and Transportation building at 1050 Regent Dr. This kiosk will allow you to properly dispose of your expired or unwanted medications. This can be done at any time and without an appointment.

At the kiosk, we can accept the following:

  • Over the counter medications
  • Prescription medications
  • Prescription patches
  • Prescription ointments
  • Vitamins
  • Pet medications

The kiosk cannot accept:

  • medical waste (for example, things that may be contaminated with blood)
  • needles
  • syringes
  • thermometers
  • hazardous waste
  •  aerosols
  • illicit drugs
  • commercial waste

This service is free to our community and will help to keep unused medications out of landfills and the water supply as well as limiting the potential for abuse.
