Medication Disposal
Sponsored in part with a Meeker Cooperative Electric Trust grant
You can help prevent misuse of unneeded and expired medications by proper disposal to keep these drugs out of the wrong hands and out of the environment. AAHFS has available at no charge Deterra® Drug Deactivation and Disposal Pouches to safely destroy prescription and over-the-counter medications. These pouches are easy and safe to use at home and can be disposed of in regular household trash. Deterra medication disposal pouches received a Silver Stevie Award for products in the area of sustainability & climate protection.
Stop by our office to pick up the Deterra pouches you need; office hours are 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday–Thursday; 8:30-noon Friday.
