Safe Prescription Disposal Starts Here.

While your prescription medications benefit you, they're harmful for the environment and the safety of our community when not properly disposed. Luckily, Healthy Natrona County and the Casper Police Department have a quick, easy way to discard damaged, unused, or expired medications.

Drop-Off Location — Casper Police Department

Simply drop your unused medication in the designated bin located inside the Casper Police Department lobby any time, any day. This dropbox provides a safe, discreet, and convenient way to dispose of prescription medication — no questions asked.

All drop-offs are handled confidentially. Please leave medication in its original packaging with labels intact so medical staff can properly identify contents and ensure safe, appropriate disposal in accordance with regulations.

By properly disposing of medication, you're contributing to suicide prevention and substance abuse prevention at home and in our community. Never flush your medications or throw them in the trash:

Keep It Safe — Even When You Need It.

Not every medication can be disposed of right away — but that doesn't mean it should be left where anyone can access it. Properly storing medications at home is one of the most overlooked steps in preventing misuse, accidental ingestion, and theft.

Children, teens, and visitors are more likely to access medications left in plain sight. A few simple habits can make a real difference.

Safe medication storage — Up and Away guide
Lock It Up Store medications in a locked box, cabinet, or safe — especially opioids, stimulants, and sleep aids.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind Never leave medications on countertops, in open bags, or in easily accessible spots like a bathroom cabinet.
Track What You Have Keep a simple inventory of controlled medications so you'll notice quickly if something goes missing.
Dispose When Done As soon as a prescription is finished or expired, drop it off at the Casper Police Department — don't let it sit.
Talk to Your Family Have an honest conversation with everyone at home — especially teens — about medication safety and the risks of misuse.
Original Packaging Keep medications in their original containers with labels intact so dosage and expiration information is always clear.

The Up and Away campaign offers free resources, videos, and guidance on keeping medications safely stored and out of reach of children and teens.
