Drug Disposal

A Cleaner, Safer Racine

Substance Misuse and Environmental Harm

Unused or expired medications can pose risks for you, your loved ones, and Racine. According to research from the National Institute of Health, death by drug overdose since 1999 has grown over 500%. Research from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources also indicate that improper disposal of medications, drugs, or needles pose a risk to our environmental health.

Can I dispose of drugs at home?

While at-home disposal is viable for some medications, not all drugs can be disposed of at home. The FDA has detailed instructions for at-home drug disposal, including a list of flush-able medications.

Lakeview Health highly recommends utilizing drug take back or disposal services before relying solely on at-home disposal.
