MEDICATION DISPOSAL DURING COVID-19

To help protect our families and community from COVID-19 many
of us are following the directions of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention( CDC) by maintaining social distancing
and/or quarantining. With many families spending more time
together in their homes, it's even more important to remember
the dangers that lurk inside such as prescription medications. We
would like to remind everyone to properly secure and dispose of
any unwanted, unused or expired medication.
We suggest calling your local police department non-emergency number to find out if their prescription drop box is open and available for disposal. If they are unavailable, you may use a Deterra drug deactivation bag
for your disposal needs. Medication may also be disposed of at
home as a last resort. Mix the medicine with an undesirable
substance, such as used coffee grounds or kitty litter, and discard.
Unless the directions on the packaging say otherwise, do not flush
medicine down the drain or toilet.
