Make Safe Disposal a Habit
Safer Habits That Last All Year
Dispose of Unused Medications to Help Keep Homes and Communities Safe
Unused medications often sit in cabinets, drawers, or backpacks long after they’re needed.
That creates risk for families and communities because these medications can be:
- Misused by teens or others in the household
- Diverted for non-medical use
- Accidentally accessed by children or pets
Events like National Drug Take Back Day raise awareness, but they only happen a few times a year. Most people need a simple, everyday way to safely dispose of medications at home.
Making safe disposal a regular habit reduces risk, protects families, and keeps communities safer because the safest habits last all year.
