The Town of Middletown, in cooperation with the Frederick County Health Department, Frederick County Sheriff’s Office, and the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency, is participating in a prescription drug take back effort. To help provide safe disposal of unused medicine, the Town of Middletown has installed a Prescription Drug Disposal Site at the Middletown Municipal Center located at 31 West Main Street. The drop-off container is located just inside the rear access door from the parking lot. During business hours residents can safely dispose of their expired and/or unwanted household medicines and prescription drugs at this location.
