The RxBOX Program started June 2009 as Schaumburg's solution to disposing of medications that may otherwise pollute our environment if disposed of in the trash or in our water supply.
-
An RxBOX has been placed outside the Schaumburg Police Department at 1000 W. Schaumburg Road.
-
Schaumburg residents can bring medications including over-the-counter, prescription medications, ointments and liquid medications that are expired or unused to this location.
-
These items should be placed in a zip locked plastic bag then deposited in the RxBOX. Also asthma inhalers can be deposited in a separate zip locked plastic bag.
-
The medications will then be incinerated in collaboration with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency using state-of-the-art technology.
-
The RxBox is available 24/7.
Items NOT Accepted in the RxBox
