Mark your calendars for a significant community event as Partnership Carson City proudly presents its bi-annual Drug Round-up on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This event aims to raise awareness about the critical impact of keeping unused and expired prescription drugs within households.
This bi-annual initiative is meticulously crafted to safeguard the well-being of our community's most vulnerable members. We are committed to providing essential education on the proper disposal of unused or expired prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, prescription liquids, pet medications, sharps (syringes) and more. Join us at one of the following four convenient locations in Carson City:
— Save Mart Supermarkets, with two accessible sites at 3620 N. Carson and 4348 S. Carson streets.
— Smith’s Food & Drug Store, located at 559 E. William St.
— FoodMaxx, located at 3325 Highway 50 East.
Partnership Carson City also offers at-home drug disposal kits. These kits provide a simple, safe, and responsible way to dispose of medication at home. Additionally, we are pleased to provide medicine lock boxes, medical lock bags and commercial cannabis lock bags, all free of charge.

Partnership Carson City started as an effort to fight the spread of methamphetamine more than a decade ago. Since then, it has taken on the role of a coalition to support and organize all kinds of services throughout the capital city. Partnership still focuses on stopping drug abuse, promoting a variety of programs that help youth and families be safer and healthier.
