What to do with old medication

I'm with Mindy. Take them to your pharmacy. And you're absolutely right: do NOT flush them. That puts the meds into the water supply.
*snort* you just made me spit out my protein drink, picturing people dropping narcotics off at our firehouse. Those Volunteers would have quite the party with medications
Heck sometimes half the crew is at the bar- we just hope there isn't a fire.
OK small town Iowa, I may be exaggerating DH is on the fire dept & he doesn't drink.
It would be a good idea to check out in larger states. Here they have a drug drop off 2 x a year at city hall.

Here in my county we have drug drop offs with staffed volunteer pharmacists and nurses along with county officials in charge of toxic waste disposal. Check with your local pharmacy if they know of drop off sites and times. PLEASE do not just drop these meds off at a local shelter...these drugs need to be monitored and disposed of properly. Shelter staff are not doctors or pharmacists who can verify drugs.
