We ask participants to do the following:

  • Consolidate loose pills in a plastic bag
  • Remove personal information from any packaging
  • Medical Sharps* are accepted only in sealed bio-hazard or other sturdy sealed containers
  • Liquid medications are not accepted at any of the locations

Old and unwanted prescriptions and over the counter medications (Sharps* not accepted) can be taken to:

Kaiser Pharmacy (Members Only)
2185 West Grant Line Road

If you have old and unwanted prescription medications including  Sharps* or controlled substances (no liquids), you can take them to the appropriate kiosk located at:

Tracy Police Department

If you have just Sharps*, the following location, in addition to the Tracy Police Department, will accept them:
