Disposal of Unused Medicines: What You Should Know
Overview
Medicines play an important role in treating many conditions and diseases, but when they are no longer needed it’s important to dispose of
them properly to avoid harm to others. Below, we list some disposal options and some special disposal instructions for you to consider
when throwing out expired, unwanted, or unused medicines.
Medicine Take-Back Programs
Medicine take-back programs for disposal are a good way to remove expired, unwanted, or unused medicines from the home and reduce
the chance that others may accidentally take the medicine. Contact your city or county government’s household trash and recycling service
to see if there is a medicine take-back program in your community and learn about any special rules regarding which medicines can be
taken back. You can also talk to your pharmacist to see if he or she knows of other medicine disposal programs in your area or visit the U.S.
Drug Enforcement Administration’s website for information on National Prescription Drug Take-Back Events.
Disposal in Household Trash
If no medicine take-back program is available in your area, you can also follow these simple steps to dispose of most medicines in the
household trash:1
Mix medicines (do NOT crush tablets or capsules) with an unpalatable substance such as kitty litter or used coffee grounds;
Place the mixture in a container such as a sealed plastic bag; and
Throw the container in your household trash.
Before throwing out your empty pill bottle or other empty medicine packaging, remember to scratch out all information on the prescription
label to make it unreadable.
