The Niceville Police Department has introduced a new Prescription Drug Collection Mailbox, providing a safe and responsible way for residents to dispose of old or unwanted prescription drugs.

  • The mailbox, located in the department’s lobby, was donated by the City of Niceville Public Works staff and has been beautifully refurbished by students from Rocky Bayou Christian School.

On Monday, May 20, 2024, the students who dedicated their time and artistic talents to the project unveiled the completed mailbox at the police department. The students involved in the refurbishment include:

  • Addison Lennard
  • Abigail Wessner
  • Anna Williams
  • Addy Sanchez
  • Fisher Nelson
  • Jacob Downing
  • Dalton Binkley
  • Greyson DuBose
  • Grayson Ros
  • Caleb Walton

The Prescription Drug Collection Mailbox will serve as an official collection point for Niceville and its neighboring residents, providing a convenient and secure way to dispose of prescription drugs that are no longer needed or have expired. This initiative aims to reduce the risk of prescription drug misuse and prevent these substances from ending up in the wrong hands or contaminating the environment.

The Niceville Police Department commends the students for their hard work and selfless dedication to their community. Their efforts have not only given the mailbox a fresh new look but have also contributed to a safer and healthier Niceville.

Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this new resource and properly dispose of their unwanted prescription drugs at the Niceville Police Department’s lobby.
