The PSNI said: “The bins are secure. There have been no adverse incidents at any bin.
“Thousands of pills have been destroyed as a result of the bins.
“This is a positive and forward thinking initiative, please support it and encourage anyone you know who can make use of this bin to do so,” said the PSNI.
“One of the main uses of these bins is unneeded prescription meds being binned before they fall into the wrong hands.”
