Expired and unwanted medications can be turned into the Greendale Police Department anonymously by Village of Greendale residents.

Residents may dispose of solid (non-liquid) medications by removing the medication from its container and placing it into a clear sealable plastic baggie (available at the PD by the drop-off box).

Liquid medications, creams and sprays MUST BE in their original packaging.
