- 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.
Bring household medications, including prescription, over-the-counter and pet medications to:
Burnsville Police Department
100 Civic Center Parkway
Burnsville, MN 55337
The lobby contains a designated drop box that residents can access 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
If the drop box is full you cannot leave the medications at the Police Department -- you will need to come back another time.
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.
