Residents are encour-
aged to bring in medica-
tions containing controlled
substances but will accept
any medications brought
for disposal. All sites will
take pills and medication
patches of all kinds. If pos-
sible, prescription labels
should be removed or per-
sonal information should
be blacked out; however,
pill bottles will still be ac-
cepted if the labels are at-
tached. No questions will
be asked. This is an oppor-
tunity to safely empty out a
medicine cabinet of drugs
that are no longer needed.
Disposing of prescrip-
tion drugs through a drug

option. If it is safe to dis-
pose of a drug by flushing
it down a toilet, the drug

Unused and/or expired
medicines that remain in
home cabinets are highly
susceptible to diversion,
misuse, and abuse. Ac-
cording to the DEA, rates
of prescription drug abuse
in the U.S. are alarmingly
high, as are the number of
accidental poisonings and
overdoses.  Studies show
that a majority of abused
prescription drugs are ob-
