I hope all pharmacies accept unused medicines for proper disposal since patients usually have other things to worry about.

A loved one died last year and Hospice had us flush the meds down the toilet which didnt seem right to me but I figured they most certainly would know what is best. Guess not. Good info to know.

You may have to give liquid medication to the pharmacist in person as some of the containers do not accept liquids. I have never met a pharmacist who refused to take things. Please protect the environment. Don't flush or toss medications in the trash!

I used to work at a pharmacy in High School and we just flushed them. Of course we didn't know much about environmentalism - it was just this foreign concept for nuts rather than a lifestyle and a cultural scenario. Now I hate to put anything in the actual trash can and want to recycle it :) I'm glad times have changed. Ha! I used to work at a pharmacy in High School and we just flushed them.
