Medication Disposal

Medication Disposal

The misuse of non-prescribed prescription medication is a widespread problem throughout the United States. In an effort to keep expired, unwanted, and unused medication out of the environment please follow these guidelines:

• Dispose of your expired or unwanted medication at the 24/7 Medication Drop Off Kiosk at the Watertown Police Department on 552 Main Street.
• Take advantage of periodically sponsored National Prescription Drug Take-Back Days.
• Throw the drugs in the household trash following these steps:
  • Remove them from the original containers and mix them with kitty litter or coffee grounds.
  • Place this mixture in a sealable bag, empty container to prevent the drug from leaking or breaking through a garbage bag.
