Don’t flush it, don’t toss it, to dispose of meds safely! Unused or expired medications can be dangerous if left at home or thrown in the trash. Proper disposal helps prevent accidental poisoning, misuse, and environmental harm. Here’s how to do it right:

💊 Use a local drug take-back program (check with us for locations!)
💊 Use DEA-authorized disposal kiosks or events
💊 If no options are available, mix meds (not controlled substances) with coffee grounds or cat litter, seal in a bag, and place in the trash

🙅 Never flush medications unless the label or official FDA list says it’s safe.
