My friend gave me some unwanted prescription drugs, but I'm worried that if I just throw them away, the law enforcement might catch me. How can I safely dispose of these unwanted prescription drugs without being caught by law enforcement?

It is generally safe to discard expired, unwanted, or unused prescription drugs in your normal trash. You can also drop them off at law enforcement centers or local drug stores, which often have dropoff boxes for the disposal of unneeded medicine.

Most communities have take-back programs to safely dispose of unwanted prescription drugs. Contact your local pharmacist, police station, or municipal government to see if there are any take-back programs available in your area. If there is not a program near you, the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) occasionally sponsors nationwide events where locals can bring their expired, unused and unwanted medications to be properly disposed of. The DEA’s website provides updated information about these events: www.dea.gov/index.shtml
