If you look in your medicine cabinet, chances are you’ll find unwanted medications. From tablets you bought just in case you got sick on a trip to the leftover cough syrup to pain medications you didn’t use up to those old birth control pills. Don’t flush them. Don’t pour them down the sink. Don’t throw them in the garbage.
Taking any of these actions can put your family, pets, your community and the environment at risk. Instead, dispose of them safely by taking them to a pharmacy that participates in HPSA’s free take back program.
