The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy recommends that you:
Take unused, unneeded or expired prescription drugs out of their original containers and throw them in the trash.
Mix prescription drugs with an undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds or kitty litter and put them in impermeable, non-descript containers, such as empty cans or sealable bags.
Don’t flush prescription drugs down the toilet unless the label or accompanying patient information specifically instructs doing so.
Take advantage of community pharmaceutical take-back programs that allow the public to bring unused drugs to a central location for proper disposal.
