Disposal of Medicines

Safely Dispose of Unused and Expired Medications - it's FREE!

If you are like most people, you have accumulated a collection of prescription and over-the-counter medications - many of which are no longer needed or have expired.

Wastewater treatment plants like Union Sanitary District's are designed to handle normal household wastes. Pharmaceuticals flushed into the sewer system can pass into San Francisco Bay, where they may have an impact on fish and wildlife. 

USD is pleased to support MED-Project Pharmaceutical Take-back kiosks throughout Alameda County. There are currently 99 kiosks in the County, located in pharmacies, for residents to safely dispose of unwanted and expired medications at no cost to the consumer.

This program is growing and more kiosk locations will continue to be added. A complete list of kiosk locations can be found on the MED-Project website.
