Want to help plant trees this spring? Or would you like to adopt a tree of your own? Our volunteers will get it planted for you! Contact Sustainability Coordinator, Stephen Stolte, at sstolte@dalycity.org or (650) 991-8126.

Medication Disposal Kiosk at City Hall

The City of Daly City has partnered with MED-Project (http://www.med-project.org/) to offer a free, safe, and convenient location for residents to dispose of unwanted or expired medication from households by way of the San Mateo County Safe Medicine Disposal Ordinance. San Mateo County entered an agreement with MED-Project LLC to provide kiosks throughout the County for disposal of household pharmaceutical products.

A Med-Project secured kiosk is now located outside the Daly City Police Department in the City Hall rotunda at 333-90th Street. Drop-offs can be made in the lobby during regular business hours (M-F: 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, Saturday: 8:00 am to 12:00 pm).  

The kiosk accepts medications in any dosage form in their original container or sealed bag. No herbal remedies, vitamins, supplements, cosmetics or other personal care products; compressed cylinders, aerosols, and inhalers; medical devices; sharps; illicit drugs; or iodine-containing medications will be accepted.

MED-Project is a pharmaceutical product stewardship organization that is financed by the pharmaceutical producers operating in several jurisdictions. The mission of MED-Project is to implement an accessible, convenient, and comprehensive program for the collection of household generated pharmaceutical waste.

The MED-Project is in the process of updating kiosk locations on their website. In the interim, here is a list of active kiosk locations in San Mateo County as of 02-11-17:


Serramonte Boulevard/Callan Boulevard
Traffic Signal Installation Project

The traffic signal is needed to help relieve the delay experienced by motorists during peak periods as a result of new developments in the area. Construction is anticipated to start in March 2017 and be completed by June 2017.
