We are committed to helping protect our community and environment. One way we demonstrate this commitment is through our prescription drug disposal program. Often unused medications are thrown in the trash or flushed down the toilet, enabling the medical components of these products to enter our environment or water supply. In addition, some medicines may be especially harmful if digested accidentally or for illicit use. Because of this, some medications have special disposal directions that indicate if the leftover prescription products should be flushed down the sink or toilet. For information on drugs that should be flushed visit the FDA’s website.
To assist in the environmentally and socially responsible disposal of prescription drugs, you may return your unused medications at East Park Pharmacy.
If you cannot bring your medication to East Park Pharmacy for safe disposal, follow any specific disposal instructions that accompany the medication. Do not flush prescription drugs down the toilet unless the disposal directions expressly indicate. Follow these simple tips to protect yourself and your family:
