Lilburn Police Department adds "Big White Box"

LILBURN, Ga. -- The Lilburn Police Department has added a drug drop box in the lobby to help cut down on the improper disposal of prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs.

Spokeswoman Nikki Perry for the City of Lilburn reported that the "Big White Box" is accessible to the public at all times, and that by adding the box, the LPD is taking part in a campaign, "Operation Drug Drop Off," which has added over 128 drug drop box locations through Georgia.

By properly disposing expired drugs, or prescriptions no longer needed, Perry said it can help keep the medications out of the hands of children and off the streets while preventing overdose and accidental poisonings.

All drugs can be dropped in the "Big White Box," except for needles, biohazard materials and illegal drugs.
