If no drug take back sites, drop box locations, deterra bags or programs are available in your areas, and there are no specific disposal instructions (such as flushing) in the medication guide or packet insert, you can follow these steps to dispose of most medicines in your trash at home.
  1. Mix medicines (liquid or pills, do not crush tablets or capsules) with an unappealing substance such as dirt, cat litter, or used coffee grounds,
  2. Place the mixture in a container such as a sealed plastic bag,
  3. Throw away the container in your trash at home, and
  4. Delete all personal information on from the prescription label of empty medicine bottles of medicine packings, then trash or recycle the empty bottle or packaging.
