Drop box installed
The Grand Ronde Tribal Police Department, 9655 Grand Ronde Road,
now has a medication drop box located in the front lobby.
Lobby hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The drop box is for any prescribed or over-the-counter medication. If the
containers are too large to fit in the drop box, please repackage them in a
zip-lock plastic bag. Tribal Police employees cannot handle the medications
so the person dropping them off must repackage them.
Needles and liquids are not allowed in the drop box.
Tribal Police suggest mixing liquid medications with cat litter or coffee
grounds and then throwing them away with the household trash.
For more information, call 503-879-1821.
