UCF wants dangerous drugs off the street.
In an effort to prevent pill abuse and theft, UCF Health Services, together with the UCF Police Department, will give the public an opportunity to rid their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs on Tuesday, October 22.
People wanting to dispose of drugs should bring medications for disposal to the Student Union atrium between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The service is made possible by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
The DEA then incinerates the medications to keep them out of water supplies and landfills.
UCF will also opening a secure Drug Drop-off Box located in the Health Center where the public will be able to dispose drugs.
