About the POD Program

The Prescription and Over-the-Counter Drug Drop-Off Program or POD Program is a multicounty-wide medication drug take back initiative to provide a convenient location for residents to properly dispose of prescription and over-the-counter medications. The POD Program is a highly successful collaboration including a stakeholder’s group, community collections, and a permanent drug drop box program.The POD Program has over 20 permanent collection drop boxes at law enforcement agencies throughout Northern Michigan. The Community Collection events are available periodically and provide a secure, convenient, and environmentally sound option for the disposal of unused and unwanted household medications. Residents may safely dispose of prescription, over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, and personal care products for free.
