How can I properly dispose of unused prescription drugs?
user
You can properly dispose of unused prescription drugs by mixing them with an undesirable substance such as coffee grounds or dirt, then placing the mixture in a sealed plastic bag and discarding it in the trash. Alternatively, you can flush unused drugs down the toilet, but this is not recommended for all medications. Some medications are too toxic to be flushed, and improper disposal of these drugs could harm wildlife or aquatic life. For drugs that may be safely flushed, this is still considered the best option for disposal. You should also always consult your pharmacist about safe drug disposal methods for prescriptions that are still within their expiration date.
