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. Learn more about your free options to safely and securely dispose of household unwanted medication in Washington state.
