Rx Drug Disposal

Document Shredding

Sunshine Division Donations

Drive, walk or bike-up and drop off your unwanted/expired prescription drugs and sensitive documents. Drugs will be safely incinerated and documents will be securely shredded. By participating, you reduce the risk of identity theft and misuse of prescription drugs.

The Sunshine Division will also be available for donations of canned food, dry pasta, and gently-used clothing for needy families. Tax deduction forms will be provided.

This FREE community shred event, prescription drug turn-in, and electronic recycling and destruction, is sponsored by the Portland Police Bureau's White-Collar Crimes Unit, Office of Community & Civic Life, and the Better Business Bureau.
