Yes, absolutely. One option is to take the medication to a local police station or a clinic and follow the facility's procedures for disposal of expired medications. Another option is to use an online pill disposal service such as Pillow Case, which will allow you to ship your expired medicine for safe disposal. Whatever path you choose, be sure to review the instructions carefully and double-check that no potential harm can come to people or animals from using the disposal service.

Yes, absolutely! Many communities have expired medication disposal programs that you can use to safely discard expired medication. You can also bring the drugs to a local pharmacy and they may be able to take them for disposal. Alternatively, some organizations such as hospitals or fire departments may allow you to bring them to their facility for disposal. Finally, if there are none of these options available, most States in the US allow people to dispose unused and expired prescription drugs by flushing them down the sink ortoilet – though this is discouraged as it can contaminate our water sources.
