What Can I Dispose Of?
Below are general guidelines for the products that will and will not be accepted in drop boxes.
Medicine
To protect your privacy, patients are reminded to remove all personally identifiable information on medication labels or packaging before disposing of unwanted medicine.
Residents may also go to selected locations to request a Mail-Back Package for expired or unwanted medicine.
Medications in any dosage form, except for those listed below, in their original container or sealed bag are accepted.
- Herbal remedies
- Vitamins
- Supplements
- Cosmetics
- Other personal care products
- Empty medical devices
- Batteries
- Mercury-containing thermometers
- Sharps
- Illicit drugs
- Pet pesticide products
If transferring medications to a sealed bag, please be sure to recycle remaining packaging.
Do not place medicine in the trash or recycling, and never flush them down the toilet.
Sharps
Sharps (such as hypodermic needles, pen needles, pre-loaded sharps, auto-injectors, intravenous needles, lancets, and other devices used to penetrate the skin for drawing blood, or for the delivery of medicines) contained in U.S. Food and Drug Administration-cleared sharps containers.
- Controlled substances (such as opioids)
- Unwanted medicines not contained in sharps
- Loose sharps that are not contained in U.S. Food and Drug Administration-cleared sharps containers
All sharps disposal containers should be made of heavy-duty plastic; able to close with a tight-fitting, puncture resistant lid without sharps being able to come out; upright and stable during use; leak-resistant; and properly labeled as “sharps waste” or with the biohazard symbol and the word “BIOHAZARD” to warn of hazardous materials inside the container.
