The Importance of Safe Medication Disposal

When drugs are flushed down the toilet, the chemicals are difficult to filter out in wastewater treatment and traces may end up in our drinking water. When they are disposed in your garbage can, animals, children, and even other adults may gain access to medicine and become poisoned. Additionally, over time, loose medicines degrade into the landfill, through the ground and again into our ground water systems.

Remember:

  • Do not flush medicines.
  • Do not place loose pills and liquids in your trash
