Walgreens

Walgreens safe medication disposal kiosks are available during regular pharmacy hours and offer one of the best ways to ensure medications are not accidentally used or intentionally misused.

Individuals can safely and conveniently dispose of their unwanted, unused or expired medications at no cost. Simply bring them to a Walgreens with a safe disposal kiosk and deposit the medication in the kiosk—much like dropping a letter into a mailbox. The kiosks are available during regular pharmacy hours and are located in most states and Washington DC.  To find a kiosk in your area, please visit our Store Locator.

• prescriptions,
• prescription and over the counter ointments and creams,
• liquids,
• lotions,
• pet medications,
• prescription patches,
• over-the-counter medications and
• vitamins. 

Certain medications are not accepted at the kiosks including needles, inhalers, aerosol cans, hydrogen peroxide, thermometers, and illicit drugs.
