The options for disposing of medications in Wasco and Sherman counties have grown, with more drop box sites and mail-in options. North Central Public Health District says existing drop boxes at The Dalles Police Department and the Sherman County Sheriff’s Office have been upgraded to MED-project boxes that not only take pills but additional medications including inhalers, unused epi pens, liquids, and ointments. Two more of the boxes have been added at Mid-Columbia Medical Center’s pharmacy and the Celilo Cancer Center. In addition, the new MED-project program has mailers people can pick up at the Southern Wasco County Library in Maupin, the Shaniko Fire Department, and Grass Valley City Hall to send their unused medication in for disposal. People can also request free pre-paid, pre-addressed mailers online at med-project.org.
