The Kendall County Coroner’s Office, Yorkville Police Department, Kendall County Sheriff’s Office and Earthmover Credit Union are hosting a Community Shred and Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 27, 2024, from 8:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at the Kendall County Courthouse (807 John St, Yorkville, Illinois 60560). The Prescription Take Back is part of the DEA’s National Take Back Initiative.

Prescription Drug Drop-Off: The prescription drug drop-off portion of the event will be from 8:00 a.m. –2:00 p.m. Community members can bring any outdated, unused or unneeded prescription drugs to be disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly way. In addition to prescription medications, this site will also accept used or unused medical sharps for destruction. If sharps/syringes are being dropped off, we ask they be separated from the other items. This site will also accept unexpired diabetic supplies/medications for donation to Insulin for Life (IFL). IFL is a non-profit organization which directs donated supplies to help patients in over 74 developing nations.

Document Shredding: The document shredding portion of the event will be from 8:00 a.m. –11:00 a.m. Community members can bring up to three large file boxes per vehicle. Advanced registration is not required; however, this is first come, first serve. Once the shred trucks are full, the shred event will be over.

Drop-offs for both the prescription drugs and document shredding will be collected in a drive-through area, and no information is collected from participants.
