NPD to Host Community Safety Day May 30

The Norman Police Department (NPD) will host a Community Safety Day for residents looking to dispose of unwanted documents, prescription drugs, and ammunition.

The NPD Community Safety Day is scheduled for Saturday, May 30 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot on the southeast corner of Andrews Park near Daws Street and James Garner Avenue.

Norman residents can take advantage of the following free disposal opportunities:

Document Shredding: Residents can bring up to five boxes of documents to be shredded by Absolute Data Shredding. The free shredding event was created to provide citizens the opportunity to properly dispose of documents containing sensitive information, keeping their personal information out of the hands of criminals.

Prescription Drug Disposal: Residents can bring any outdated, unused or unneeded prescription drugs to be disposed of in an environmentally responsible way. The Pharmaceutical Take-Back Program will be held in partnership with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics. Please do not bring syringes, liquid medications, Epipens, or inhalers.

Ammunition Disposal: NPD will provide an opportunity for residents to drop off old and unwanted ammunition to be destroyed. No explosives are allowed.

Free Medication Lockboxes: Representatives from Norman Public Schools will also be onsite distributing free medical lockboxes while supplies last.
