The Highspire Borough Police Department will participate in the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, October 24, 2026, and is a designated medication collection site. Residents may dispose of prescription and over‑the‑counter medications in the department’s secure drop box located under the police carport; items not accepted include illegal drugs, needles, lotions or liquids, inhalers, aerosol cans, thermometers and hydrogen peroxide. Proper disposal helps prevent accidental poisoning, prescription drug misuse and environmental contamination; residents are encouraged to check medicine cabinets and safely discard unneeded medicines.
