Safely Dispose of Medicine at Free Disposal Kiosks
Did you know?
Over 53% of those who misused prescription pain medications say they got them from a friend or family, often getting them easily within the home.
For medications you still need:
Securely 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 medicines increases pollution of our water.
Help keep friends, family, and our environment safe by disposing of old and unused medication.
