The Signal Mountain Police Station will be holding a Drug Take Back event on Saturday, April 27 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m, allowing the public to dispose of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to the Signal Mountain Police Station at 1111 Ridgeway Ave. They cannot accept liquids or needles/sharps - only pills or patches. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
The collection point will be located in the Signal Mountain Fire Department bay.
Pull in through the garage bay doors off of Hershel Dick Road (entrance of the parking lot for Police and Fire Department) and exit through the garage bay doors on to Rolling Way.
If you are unable to participate in the Drug Take Back event on April 27, the Police Department also has a permanent collection bin located in the lobby of the Police Station. The lobby is open 24 hours a day and citizens are welcome to stop in and deposit their unused/unwanted medication at any time.
