The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office and Safe Kids Randolph County are hosting a Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Thursday, April 23, 2026, from 11:30 am – 4:30 pm, to allow individuals to just drive through the parking lot and dispose of prescription drugs that could be diverted or misused. Safe Kids Randolph County will distribute medicine lock boxes during the event, while supplies last. The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office is at 727 McDowell Road in Asheboro.
While prescription drug abuse is more commonly associated with younger age groups, senior and elderly medicated patients may also be at heightened risk of developing addiction due to the number and variety of drugs they take for health reasons. Cleaning out unused prescriptions helps reduce that risk.
The Prescription Drug Take Back Day and the Med Dropbox give people the ability and opportunity to properly and safely dispose of prescription medications, ensure that they do not get in the wrong hands, and are kept away from our water and landfills.
On other days, a Med Drop collection box is available in the first-floor elevator entrance of the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office, Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, with no questions asked and no paperwork to fill out. The box is designed for people to drop off their expired and/or no longer needed medications. The prescription drop box is for prescription drugs only. No syringes or liquids are to be dropped off in the drug drop box at any location.
