Do you need to dispose of prescription medication? If you have medication around your house you do not use, it is helpful to get rid of this safely. Oftentimes there is extra pain medicine left over from a procedure and leaving this around the house can be tempting for others and may lead to substance abuse.
https://www.dea.gov/everyday-takeback-day is one website to guide you where to go. Or, better yet, you can put in your zip code and find local pharmacies to accept extra medications at this site.
I hope this helps.
