Feel difference Safely get rid of medications you don't use Our County has set up a drop box to help you to "drop off unwanted prescription drugs and non-prescription drugs" no longer being used. The box, provided by Public Hospital District No. 1, is located in front of the Mason County Sheriffs Office in the County Court House, 322 N. 3rd Street, Shelton. Drop boxes help to ensure that unused drugs can be safely and appropriately disposed of, keeping them out of our waters, and out of the hands of children and others who seek to use them inappropriately and dangerously.
