Too often unused , expired and unwanted prescription drugs find their way into
the wrong hands, or flushed down the drain where they make it into the water
system. That's why a safe alternative is important.

the Miami Beach Police Department will host two drop off sites for the safe
disposal of prescription medications . The addresses and times are listed below.
