The following was submitted to White Lake Patch by the White Lake Police Department.
White Lake Police along with DEA and other local law enforcement agencies will coordinate a national one-day effort to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from our nation’s homes. This national take-back initiative will provide a unified opportunity for the public to surrender pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications to law enforcement officers for destruction.
On April 28, 2012, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. residents can surrender expired, unwanted, or unused medications at the White Lake Police Department. Participants may dispose of medications after removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into the disposal box. Only medications in pill form will be accepted. This is a completely anonymous program.

What if you have medicine that is not expired, and its expensive, is there a place where the people that cannot afford this medicine to give the medicine to?

Unfortunately I think there are laws against that Paul, but I'd ask the police department. It would be nice if it worked like that though. There are a lot of people in need who would benefit.
