Medication Disposal Sites

Pharmaceutical waste is a far reaching issue that affects more than just hazardous waste programs. These unused drugs present opportunities for environmental contamination, drug abuse and accidental poisonings. Proper disposal through collection events and Medication Drop Boxes are necessary to ensure the drugs are completely destroyed by incineration. Taking the easy way out and simply throwing any unused medications in the trash or flushing down the drain can lead to significant environmental problems.
