We recommend packaging pills in a sealable plastic baggie, however, original pill containers are acceptable.
And the Sheriff’s office encourages you to remove prescription labels due to them containing personal information. Solid and liquid medications may be disposed. But Deputies say no medical sharps will be accepted.
