Big Red Barrels are a proven best practice that responds to the growing problem of prescription drug abuse. Easy access to pain killers, stimulants, anti-depressants, cough syrup and other medicines are a factor in the rise of abuse. A Big Red Barrel allows people to remove unwanted and expired prescription drugs from their homes.

Controlled substances and all other solid dosage medications are accepted with no questions asked, but liquids, intravenous solutions, injection drugs and needles cannot by disposed through the Red Barrel.
