Both prescription and over-the-counter medications, as well as vitamins, can be disposed of in the drop box.
The drop box provides the best option for families to safely dispose of potentially harmful medications. The average American household has four pounds of both prescription and over-the-counter medications. The abundance of medication creates opportunities for misuse and abuse which can have serious, even deadly results.
Sharps, marijuana products, and chemotherapy medication may not be disposed of in the drop box. It’s also important to note the drop box is intended only for residents to dispose of household medication. Health care facility waste is not permitted.
