New Federal Guidelines for Disposing of Old or Unused Medications
I missed posting on this when I first saw it but thought folks might be interested in some new federal guidance for disposing of old or unused prescription medicines.
Proper Disposal of Prescription Drugs
The most important point is that you should NOT flush drugs down the toilet unless the accompanying direction specifically say to do so. Municipal waste water treatment plats are not set up to handle this and it can cause environmental problems. In general, the unused or old medication should be placed in the trash in nondescript containers.
