Unused Medication Disposal

Free return program for unused or expired medications

Unused or expired medications should not go in the trash, toilet, or sink. Bring them to the pharmacy in any container — we send them for safe destruction at no cost. Opioids, benzodiazepines, and other controlled medications are accepted.

How the pharmacy helps

No questions asked. No need to remove labels (we ask that you do for privacy if you prefer). Used Fentanyl patches must be returned — they still contain drug.

Access framing

Free service. Drop off any time we are open.
