Our patented, easy-to-use drug disposal system can be used at home or in a clinical setting to safely destroy unused or expired medications, making them unavailable for misuse and safe for disposal in the normal trash.
Deterra Destroys Unused Medication in 3 Easy Steps

Place Medication in Pouch
Open pouch and place unused medications inside.
Fill Halfway with Water

Seal, Shake & Dispose in Trash
Seal tightly, gently shake and dispose of in normal trash.
