Medication Disposal Do's and Don'ts

DO

REDUCE pharmaceutical and medication waste whenever possible:

• Buy only as much as can reasonably be used in the immediate future.
• Ask the doctor to prescribe only enough to see if a new prescription medication will work for you, and in the lowest dose advisable.

DISPOSE of the remainder properly:

• Utilize local permanent drop-box to dispose of your unused pharmaceuticals.
• If you are unable to attend a medication collection program, render your leftovers unattractive by mixing them with coffee grounds or kitty litter. Then place them in your trash for disposal in a licensed solid waste landfill.

DON’T

• Flush waste drugs down the toilet or sink drain.
• Burn pharmaceuticals or personal care products in a burn barrel.
