Prescription Drugs

Unwanted medications should NOT be flushed down the toilet.  If you are not able to bring medications to a drop-off, follow the guidelines below.

  • Treat medications (liquids and pils) by adding water and then ashes, dirt, cat litter, coffee grounds, or another undesirable substance to avoid accidental or intentional misuse of drugs.
  • Hide all medications in an outer container to prevent discovery and removal from the trash. 
  • Dispose of drugs as close to your trash collection day as possible.

Residents can drop-off unwanted medications for proper handling to:
