Prescription drug take-back event a success

The Globe and Miami Police Departments, Copper Basin Coalition, Gila County Sheriff’s Office and the Gila County Public Health Department, in combined efforts with the Drug Enforcement Agency, participated in “National Prescription Take Back Day” on Saturday, October 22, 2016. The program collected over 300 pounds of unused or expired medication from the Globe/Miami area.

In a continued effort to keep unused and expired medication out of our water systems, landfills and out of the hands of children, the Globe and Miami Police Department offers a secure drug drop box available to the public 24 hours a day.  The boxes are located in the lobby of the police departments. 

For more information regarding the drug disposal event, please visit https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov.  For more information on the drug drop box at Globe Police Department, please call (928) 425-5751.
