Why Safe Medication Return?

Medications help treat diseases, manage chronic conditions, and improve health and well-being for millions of Americans. You should dispose of these medications safely when they are no longer needed to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse by others, including children and pets. Do not place medicine in the trash or recycling and never flush them down the sink or toilet.
