(Columbus, Ohio)--If you missed out on National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, there are still things you can do to safely dispose of expired, unwanted or unused prescription drugs.
The DEA sponsors year-round drug collection drop off points that you can locate by logging onto deadiversion.usdoj.gov.
There are other ways to rid your household of unwanted or unused drugs. One method is to remove them from their packaging and mix them with something undesirable like dirt or kitty litter before tossing them in the trash. If you have further questions, your pharmacist should have the answers.
Something you shouldn't do is flush medicines down the sink or toilet unless the label specifically says it's safe to do so.
