Living an organized life includes disposing of old medicines. Take advantage of no-cost drug disposal:

Flushing medicines down the toilet poses a threat to human health and can remain in our water supply. Use one of the no-cost drug disposal sites mentioned above, or look for signs at your local CVS, Walgreens or Rite Aid who periodically offer medication disposal. These pharmacies also have self-addressed envelopes that range in price from $4-6 to be used to mail your medications directly to the disposal site.
