Safe disposal of opioids & other drugs

Unwanted or prescription drugs that are no longer needed pose a risk to home owners and their families. Safely dispose of medicines that could hurt someone not used to them.

  • Most police stations and some pharmacies have drug disposal boxes.
  • Find a registered drug drop box near you.
  • If there are no drop boxes or other safe disposal sites near you, the FDA recommends mixing unused medications in with used coffee grounds and throw it out or flush it down the toilet.
  • Read about how to dispose of expired, unwanted, or unused medicines safely.
  • Oregon law enforcement agencies and some hospitals and pharmacies collect all types of unwanted and unused drugs. Collection drop-off sites in Southern Oregon include:
