Expired Prescription Drug Collection

Effective January 23, 2017, The Palos Hills Police Department will begin receiving expired prescription drugs that residents wish to legally destroy. A sealed drop box is now available in the lobby of the police department and residents may drop off narcotics during normal business hours, 9:00-5:00, Monday through Friday.

The Cook County Sheriff's Department will pick up and destroy the narcotics once a month.

Vehicle Registration Renewal

The Secretary of State’s office has suspended mailing vehicle registration renewal notices in order to save approximately $450,000 in postage costs. Be aware of your vehicle registration expiration dates to avoid receiving a ticket! You are able to sign up to receive reminder notices via email at the Secretary of State’s website. You can also renew your registration on-line.

Visit www.ilsos.net/departments/vehicles/ onlinerenewals/home.html to renew your sticker.

Be Aware of I.R.S. Phone Scams

The Palos Hills Police Department wishes to warn all residents that large increases in individuals fraudulently calling people, claiming to be an IRS official are being made. Unsolicited calls and robocalls to taxpayers are being made, and they are demanding that people send them cash.
