Safely Dispose of Medicine at Free Disposal Kiosks

Did you know?

People who misuse pain medications often say they get them from friends or family members--even without them knowing.

For medications you still need:

Store medications out of sight where only you can reach them. Locking them up is best. Also, keep track of what medications you have and how many, so you know if any are missing.

For unused or unneeded medications:

Flushing medication increases pollution of our water.

Help keep friends, family, and our environment safe by disposing of old and unused medication.
