The best way to safely dispose of most types of unused or expired medicines
Medicine take back options are the best way to safely dispose of unused or expired prescription and nonprescription (for example, over the counter) medicines.
Before disposing of prescription medicines, be sure to remove all personal information on pill bottle labels and medicine packaging. All of your medicines dropped off at the take back locations will be destroyed.
Some facilities and businesses are registered with the U.S. DEA to collect your unused or expired medicines.
These collection sites safely and securely gather and dispose of your unused or expired medicines, including those that contain controlled substances.
