The best way to dispose of expired medication is by mixing it with a large amount of unused, mixed household waste, such as dirt or kitty litter, and placing it in a sealed plastic bag before throwing it away. This will ensure the contaminants in the medication are neutralized and minimize any risk to human health or the environment.

The best way to dispose of expired medication without leaving any trace is to use a drug take-back program. There are often local programs setup through the police department or pharmacies that allow for safe and responsible disposal of drugs. If there isn't a take-back program in your area, you can also dissolve expired pills into a small bucket of water and add the mixture to an empty container, such as a coffee can or jar, before sealing it and discarding it away from inhabited areas.
