FAQs

Where can I take my prescription drugs?: Dispose of your expired, unused and unwanted prescription and over-the-counter drugs: pills, capsules, tablets, patches, suppositories, liquids, creams and powders in their original manufacturer OR pharmacy prescription containers. Lids and caps should be securely affixed. You may remove direction labels from pharmacy prescription containers, if you wish; however, you will be dropping your drugs in a secure metal box that will be sent straight to a high-temperature incinerator. The contents of each container are quickly turned to ash.
NOT ACCEPTED: needles, sharps, IV solutions, medical instruments or illicit substances such as cocaine, heroin and marijuana.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of unused medicines by flushing them down the toilet, pouring them down a sink drain or throwing them in your curbside trash because they pose potential safety and health hazards. Water purification systems remove 100% of some chemicals; others are only reduced.
