Thank you for looking for safe alternatives for disposing your medications. Flushing medications means they can get into our water system which can impact fish, wild life, or even you. Unused drugs can also find their way into the wrong hands—that is dangerous and often tragic.

Some local Walgreens have a drop off kiosk, but not all.

This is provided at no cost to the customer upon request. They also accept inhalers and aerosols!
