Medication Collection Kiosk
In an effort to lessen the misuse and abuse of controlled substances, Firelands Regional Medical Center has installed a Take Back Kiosk. The Medication Collection Kiosk allows anyone with extra or expired opioid pills and any other prescription medications to dispose of them properly, in a private, secure, and safe way. The kiosk at Firelands is located in the hallway after exiting the parking garage and before you enter the main lobby.
