Safely Dispose of Prescriptions and Medicines
When done with prescription medicine, it’s easy to forget about it sitting unused in a drawer or medicine cabinet. But keeping unneeded medicine in the house can harm children, pets, teens and adults if accidentally ingested or misused.
Properly disposing of medication also contributes to keeping our waterways and environment protected and healthy.
The best option for safely disposing of prescription medicines is at a prescription drug and medicine drop-off site. Thankfully, there are dozens of these locations throughout Franklin County that are available year-round.
Each site accepts dry prescription pills with no questions asked. If you have other items, such as liquid medicines, inhalers, needles, creams or patches, please call first to verify they will be accepted.
The next National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day will take place on October 28, 2023.
