Safe Medication Return Programs

Safe Medication Return Programs are initiatives that allow individuals to properly dispose of unused, expired, or unwanted medications. These programs help prevent medication misuse, accidental poisoning, and environmental harm caused by improper disposal, such as flushing drugs down the toilet or throwing them in the trash. Typically, designated collection sites or take-back events are used to securely gather and manage the medications. Participating in these programs ensures medications are disposed of responsibly, protecting public health and the environment.
