  • FROM THE U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION

There are three simple steps to throw away your medicine in your household trash:

1. Remove the medicine from its container and mix it with an unappealing substance, such as dirt, used coffee grounds or kitty litter.

2. Put the mixture in a sealable bag or other container. This will prevent leaking or breaking out of the garbage bag.

3. Place in the trash.
