National Prescription Drug Take Back Day April 29 in Pinedale
Dispose of unused or unwanted prescription medications
April 28, 2017
The Sublette County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with Altitude Drug and the Prevention Management Organization, will host a prescription drug take back day on Saturday, April 29th in Pinedale. Community members are invited to come to Altitude Drug on Saturday from 10:00 AM-1:00 PM and confidentially and securely dispose of unused or unwanted prescriptions.
The Sheriff Office will have a Deputy on site with the Community Prevention Specialist, Ranae Pape who will also be on site to answer questions for community members on local drop boxes and the Wyoming Medication Donation Program for future prescription disposal use.
If you are unable to make the prescription take back time on Saturday, April 29th at Altitude Drug, there are a couple options for safe disposal of your medications. The Wyoming Medication Donation Program (WMDP) reduces medication waste and improves access for low-income Wyoming residents who lack adequate prescription coverage. The WMDP provides immediate prescription help by re-dispensing acceptable donated medications, and providing advice on lower cost alternatives.
Also, the Sublette County Sheriff’s Office participates in an ongoing drug disposal program. The program is designed for citizens to safely and confidentially dispose of unused and expired prescriptions and over the counter medications by placing them in a secure prescription drug drop box. Sublette County has two drop boxes for disposal throughout the county.
They are located at: Sublette County Justice Building 40 S. Fremont Avenue Pinedale, Wyoming
Marbleton -Sublette County Sheriff Office 19 W. Fourth St. Marbleton, Wyoming
