Gone for Good Campaign a Huge Success
enough Deterra Pouches requested to destroy over 10.3 million pills
In October, national nonprofit SAFE Project made the Deterra® Drug Deactivation and Disposal System available free of charge to U.S. households through the Gone for Good® at-home medication disposal campaign. Gone for Good aims to encourage households to clean out their medicine cabinets with a discreet, at-home drug disposal option.
Since the start of Gone for Good in 2020, U.S. households and organizations have requested over 115,000 Deterra Pouches – enough to safely destroy more than 10.3 million unused pills.
Your Action Made a National Impact
Over 115,000 Deterra Pouches have been requested through the Gone for Good campaign. That’s more than 10.3 million opportunities for misuse – gone, for good.

“Opioid dependence often starts in the home medicine cabinet, easily accessed by family members or visitors. Through our partnership with Deterra, we can help keep medications out of the wrong hands.”

Prevention is about more than dispensing less; it’s about properly removing the excess supply of medications. Without doing so, these medications can be stolen, abused or leaked into our ecosystem, contaminating our soil and water.
Deterra is the only independently tested, safe and environmentally sound solution for the permanent destruction of opioids, prescription and over the counter medication. Our solution doesn’t just mask medications in a gel or liquid. The patented approach is scientifically proven to completely destroy pills, patches, liquids, creams and films. Get a full tutorial on how to use our products.
How Deterra Works
Tear open pouch – do not remove inner pod(s). Place unused medications inside.
Fill pouch halfway with warm water and wait 30 seconds for air to release. Some foaming may occur.
Seal pouch tightly, gently shake and dispose of normal household trash.
Safe for Everyone. Safe for the Environment.
In addition to preventing substance misuse, proper drug disposal benefits our environment.
Improperly disposed of medications are ending up in landfills and surface water where these still-potent drugs can harm the environment and contaminate our water supply.
Deterra’s plant-based pouches help prevent drugs from seeping into our land and water systems, making the world safer for everyone.
