Drug Drop Box

Dispose of your unwanted medicines safely!

The City of Brentwood has partnered with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and the Tennessee Dangerous Drugs Task Force to provide two prescription drug drop boxes in the city.

  • Brentwood City Hall - 5211 Maryland Way
  • Brentwood Police Department - 910 Heritage Way

The drop boxes are available from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Once the City Hall renovation project is complete (anticipated in the Spring of 2025), that drop box will be accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. Both boxes are located in areas under video camera surveillance. Drop-off is free and no forms are required - just place the items in the box!

Acceptable items include:

  • Prescription Medications (including prescription narcotics)
  • All over-the-counter medications
  • Pet medications
  • Liquid medications in leak-proof containers
  • Inhalers
  • Pills in any packaging, including glass, plastic container, baggie (Ziploc) or foil

Items not accepted include:

  • Illegal drugs/narcotics
  • Needles/sharps or syringes with needles
  • Blood sugar equipment
  • Thermometers
  • IV bags
  • Bloody or infectious waste
  • Personal care products (shampoo, lotions, etc.)

Please, do not flush unused medications down the toilet or pour them in the sink.
