Proper Disposal of prescription drugs
Drug Take-Back Box
Keep harmful prescription medications out of the hands of children
As drug abuse problems rise in our communities, its become as important as ever to safely and responsibly dispose of unused prescription medications.
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
- Gallatin County Law and Justice Center
- Manhattan Police Department
- Town of West Yellowstone Police Department
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.
One-hundred thousand Deterra bags will be distributed throughout Montana, with 3,500 coming here to Gallatin County, and you will find them at health departments, pharmacies, law enforcement agencies and schools.
Sign the Pledge to end prescription drug abuse in Montana.
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.
