Worth Township News

Worth Township partners with the Cook County Sheriff’s Office to provide a secure location for residents to safely dispose of unused or expired prescription medications.

The drop box is located in the main lobby of Worth Township (11601 S. Pulaski Rd., Alsip). No loose pharmaceuticals, liquids, or syringes are accepted.
