Proper Disposal of prescription drugs

 Drug Take-Back Box

Drug Deactivation Pouch 

A new drug deactivation bag called 'Deterra' uses carbon to break down the drugs, rendering them inert and making disposal at home safe and simple. 

As prescription drug abuse increases in our communities, its become as important as ever to safely and responsibly dispose of unused prescription medications.

And due to environmental pollution concerns, it is no longer safe to dispose of these drugs down the drain.

That means the responsibility is on the owner to dispose these drugs at drug take back programs, or risk leaving them in medicine cabinets where children & teens can often get to them.

Dispose of unused and expired by taking them to a Drug Take-Back Box at one of the following locations:  

 

*Belgrade City Hall/Police Department


Bozeman Health Highland Park Pharmacy


*Bozeman Police Department Substation

 

CVS Pharmacy - Bozeman


Gallatin County Law and Justice Center


*Manhattan Police Department


*Montana State University Police Department


*Town of West Yellowstone Police Department

 

*Prescription Drug Take-Back Boxes in Southwest Montana funded by the Elks National Foundation Beacon Grant.

RESOLVE MONTANA CAMPAIGN

 

It isn’t easy to watch the terrible effects of prescription drug abuse. However, too many Montanans watch those they love change; watch families being torn apart; watch them lose everything. YOU can make a difference in preventing abuse and help save our friends, families, and neighbors. Resolve to end prescription drug abuse in Montana.
