These drop-off locations are permanent drop-off sites where you can responsibly dispose of your prescription drugs. These drop-off locations are part of the McKean County Prescription Drug Take Back Program headed by the McKean County District Attorney. 
Unwanted medications, prescription or over the counter, should not be thrown in the garbage or flushed down the toilet. The drug residue can pollute groundwater and streams.  Proper disposal of medications is also one important step in preventing abuse and the possibility of medications falling into the wrong hands.

Recycling programs in McKean County vary by municipality.  Several boroughs have curbside pickup of recyclables. Drop off bins are another option for rural residents or those in communities without pickup.
Recycling Director Justin Lund works to develop programs suitable to communities and the county. He is available to speak to municipalities and communities interested in increasing recycling opportunities. Programs are also available for school or youth groups.
The Conservation District assists PA Cleanways of McKean County  in conducting annual  Electronics and Tire Collections. These events give citizens opportunities to properly dispose of unwanted items.
