Prescription Take Back Program

24/7 disposal is available at all locations. Turn in your unused or expired prescription and over-the-counter medications for safe disposal.

What to bring to dispose of at these locations: Unused or expired prescriptions and over-the-counter medications, unneeded or expired over-the-counter medicines; drugs that didn’t work for you, a family member, or a pet, drugs that are no longer used, medicine from deceased family members, and unknown tablets and capsules.

Leave all medicines in their original containers, if possible. You may choose to cross out your name on the bottle before disposing in the take-back box, but it’s not necessary. All information is confidential. Please do not bring thermometers, needles, or medical waste of any type. For more information, go to www.usabrowncounty.org.
