Deterra Drug Deactivation System
Wilmington Substance Abuse Coalition is thrilled to be now offering Deterra free of cost to Wilmington residents. Deterra is a drug deactivation pouch which neutralizes over-the-counter medicine and prescription medicine to provide a convenent and safe alternative to other disposal mechanisms. The Deterra pouch is easy to use and once medications have been placed into the pouch, can be thrown away with your house hold trash. For more information visit: https://deterrasystem.com/
You can request a contactless drop-off to your home by calling 978-694-2064 or emailing sreif@wpd.org
We are in a pilot period of offering Deterra, so we ask that if you do pick up a free Deterra pouch, that you complete our survey so that we can have data to support further funding to continue to provide free access to Deterra. Answers are anonomous and appreciated. Please take this survey here:
Please note: The Drug Take Back kiosk in the lobby of the Wilmington Public Safety Building is still available for safe disposal as well, 24/7/365.
