- Prescription Drug Drop-Off Program
The Dakota County Sheriff, Attorney, and Environmental Management Offices, along with the Burnsville Police Department, have teamed together to offer the public a place to safely and anonymously dispose of prescription drugs.
For drop box locations in other cities visit the Dakota County Sheriff’s Drug Drop-Off website.
In order to comply with COVID-19 recommendations, the Burnsville Police Department has temporarily removed the prescription drug dropbox. Find dropbox locations in other cities.
Needles, sharps and thermometers can be brought The Recycling Zone in Eagan (3365 Dodd Road, 651-905-4520) for free, environmentally safe disposal.
For questions after 4:30 p.m. and on weekends, please call the Dakota Communications Center at 952-322-2323.
