The drug box for the Prince Frederick Barrack is located outside the front entrance and is available 24/7. By dropping off unused or out of date drugs it helps keep drugs of abuse from being resold or taken illegally. Further, it cuts down on groundwater contamination. Testing shows that some drugs do not filter out when at landfills or sewage treatment facilities. The remnants can then end up in the area's groundwater. Thanks again for participating in this event.
