Prescription Drug Program

Prescription Drug Program

In October of 2014 the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) implemented new regulations that now allow the general public to transfer unused or unwanted pharmaceutical controlled substances to authorized collectors for the purpose of disposal. Further details, and the regulations themselves, can be found on the DEA website.

Locally, residents are advised they may utilize the Medication Take-Back Program offered by Fox Metro Water Reclamation District. This program allows residents of the service area to bring their old, unwanted prescription and over the counter medications in to be properly disposed---FREE! This program CANNOT accept any controlled substances.

Please visit the Fox Metro website for more information.

Walgreens located at 1799 Douglas Rd in Montgomery also serves as a medication disposal location. More information concerning the select Walgreens locations participating in the safe medication disposal kiosks, please visit the Walgreen's website.
