My family has a lot of unused or expired medication, how can I safely dispose of them?
user
You can safely dispose of unused or expired medications at your local pharmacy or throw them away in the trash as long as you have taken steps to ensure that they are rendered un-usable. Additionally, many police departments and communities offer drug take back days where you can safely dispose of unwanted medication.

The best way to safely dispose of unused or expired medication is through a drug take-back program. These programs allow you to bring your medication to an appropriate facility, such as a police station or pharmacy, so that it can be destroyed in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. If you can’t find a local take-back program, you can also throw the medication away in an envelope and add an additional layer of security by writing “Flush For Safety: Do Not Touch” on the outside of the envelope before disposing it in your local Toilet Bowl Association (SBA) approved containment facility.
