Take It To The Box

Do you have expired or unused prescription drugs? Dispose of them discreetly and safely with prescription disposal drop boxes or medication disposal bags

 

Prescription drugs are unique to the individual they are prescribed to and could be harmful if used by anyone else.   It has always been the belief that prescription drugs should be disposed of by flushing them into the waterways but studies have found low levels of drugs such as antibiotics, hormones, contraceptives and steroids in 80% of the rivers and streams tested. Dispose of medications in a better way.

Medication Return Units/Drop Boxes

Expired or unused medication can be disposed y at a drop box location site.  These collection sites safely and securely gather and dispose of your unused or expired medicines, including those that contain controlled substances. In your community, authorized collection sites may be retail, hospital, or clinic pharmacies; and/or law enforcement facilities.

Safe At-Home Medication Disposal/Drug Disposal Bags

Many coalitions offer Deterra®Bags. A safe at home medication disposal system for individuals who can not get to a drop box location, elder or caretakers. Deterra® destroys drugs- not the environment. Permanently destroy prescription and over the counter medications in three simple steps from the comfort of your own home. Made with non-toxic materials, the easy-to-use Deterra pouches are proven to deactivate medication in a safe, eco-friendly way.
