Do medications need to be in the original prescription bottle?

No. Medications do not need to be in any packaging at all. Or, medications can be in packaging. 

You're welcome to keep the packaging, or bring it as well for safely disposing. The medications are collected by Erie Police Evidence Technicians, who then pass directly to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) who then use an incinerator.
