Medicine Drop Off

Unwanted medications and old prescriptions can be dropped off at area law enforcement offices for free and safe disposal. Boise City Police, Ada County Sheriff’s Office, and Garden City Police will each offer a "no questions asked" medications collection bin in the lobby of their respective headquarters. 

By participating in this program, residents will protect the Boise River's water quality and reduce the potential for medication mistakes and misuse in our community.

Program Guidelines

  • Items can be dropped off at any location during business hours.
  • Medications may be bagged.
  • Liquid containers must be sealed in a plastic bag to prevent spills. Do not pour liquids into the collection bin.
  • Medications must fit into the drop chute. If the container is too large, please ask at the counter for assistance.
