Question:
What's the best and safest way to dispose of all expired random pills (vitamins) and medications?
Please don't tell me to flush them.
Answers:
The government's new policy includes:
* Take unused, unneeded, or expired prescription drugs out of their original containers
* Mix the prescription drugs with an undesirable substance, like used coffee grounds or kitty litter, and put them in impermeable, non-descript containers, such as empty cans or sealable bags, further ensuring that the drugs are not diverted or accidentally ingested by children or pets
* Throw these containers in the trash
* Flush prescription drugs down the toilet only if the accompanying patient information specifically instructs it is safe to do so
* Return unused, unneeded, or expired prescription drugs to pharmaceutical take-back locations that allow the public to bring unused drugs to a central location for safe disposal
