Medicine Return Program


Unused medicines are not prohibited from the garbage but there are better ways to dispose of them.

Medicines flushed down the toilet add unwanted contaminants to surface water bodies and marine habitats. Medicines put in your garbage may be found and accidentally consumed by children or pets. Drugs such as narcotics may be used illegally or resold.

Visit the Take Back Your Meds website for locations of drop-off centers.
