To help protect our citizens and our community, the Kill Devil Hills Police Department has medication drop box that allows citizens to dispose of prescription or over the counter medications properly. 

The drop box is located in the lobby of the KDH Police DEPARTMENT: 102 Town Hall Drive. It is available during normal business hours. 

Why should you dispose of medication in the drop box?

• To prevent the poising of children and pets
• To prevent misuse by teenagers and adults
• To avoid health problems by accidently taking the wrong medicine, too much of the same medicine, or medicine that is too old to work well
• To keep medicines from entering our streams and rivers when poured down the drain or flushed down the toilet

Avoid Consumer Scams

Scammers are always coming up with new tricks and twists to steal your hard-earned money.

To protect yourself from consumer frauds and scams, remember:

• Never share your Social Security Number, bank account or credit card information with someone you don’t know who calls you or emails you.
• Walk away from high-pressure sellers who tell you that you must make a decision right away.
• Don’t sign any contract or other paperwork until you’ve had a chance to read and understand it.
• Never pay money upfront to get a loan or win a lottery or sweepstakes.
• Don’t respond to letters or emails that ask you to help transfer money into your bank account or wire money out of the country.
• Don’t cash checks you get in the mail along with a letter or call that tells you you’ve won an unexpected prize. The checks are most likely fake.
• Check out a company with Consumer Protection Division at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM before you do business with them.
