To provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of drug disposal, the City of McKinney is partnering again with the Collin County Sheriff’s Office to participate in the national Drug Enforcement Administration’s Drug Take-Back event April 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The event takes place at the City of McKinney Building D, 1550 S.

Loose medication can also be placed directly in the disposal box. Intravenous solutions and syringes will not be accepted.
Items that are accepted:
