QUICK SUMMARY
Boise residents can safely dispose of unused prescription drugs during a drive-thru event on October 25, 2025, at City Hall West. The initiative, organized by the Boise Police Department and AARP Idaho, aims to prevent misuse and protect the environment. Proper disposal helps keep harmful substances out of water systems and landfills.
The City of Boise will host a National Prescription Drug Take Back Drive-Thru event on October 25, 2025, from 10 AM to 2 PM at City Hall West to facilitate safe disposal of unused medications. Organized by the Boise Police Department and AARP Idaho, this initiative addresses the risks associated with improper disposal, which can lead to misuse and environmental harm. Flushing prescription drugs can disrupt the city’s water renewal process, making proactive disposal critical. Participants can conveniently dispose of their medications without leaving their vehicles as police officers and city staff manage the collection. For those unable to attend the event, several collection sites across Boise offer alternative drop-off options. Residents can find a complete list of locations on the city's website. This program reflects Boise's commitment to public safety and environmental sustainability. For further details, residents can visit curbitboise.org or call (208) 608-7136.
