    The Nampa and Jerome Walmart locations will be offering free medication disposals on Saturday, April 27 for National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.

    During the event, law enforcement will set up in parking lots at the Walmart locations from 10 am to 2 pm to help residents safely dispose of unwanted, unused, or expired prescription medications.

    • Jerome Walmart: 2680 S Lincoln Ave, Jerome, ID 83338
    • Nampa Walmart: 175 S Middleton Rd, Nampa, ID 83651

    These will be the only two disposal locations in Idaho during the DEA's event.

    “These events demonstrate the commitment behind preventing any misuse or abuse of prescription medications,” said Lisa Young, Group Director with Walmart Specialty Compliance and Ethics. “We deeply value the collaboration for efforts like this one, and it’s our goal to reduce the chances of prescription drugs being misused or abused.”

    Better to keep them for tough times. Never know could be back to bartering or just no availability due to most meds made in China. Most are effective even after expiration.

    This is so ridiculous. Why not have it available every other week or once a month? When I have surgery, I certainly don't want to wait for a year to dispose of the leftover prescriptions?
