This program allows anyone to remove old medication from their home, preventing abuse, unintended use, and helps avoid medications from contaminating the landfills or water supplies. Simply bring your items to the West Des Moines Police Department and an officer will accept them and ensure they are disposed of safely, privately, and legally. This has been a highly successful program and we look forward to serving the needs of our citizens.
