Drop-off Locations

Typical Drop-off Channels

Use this regional guide as a starting point when checking local disposal notices from health centers, pharmacies, and public facilities.

  • Pharmacies

    Participating pharmacies nationwide accept unused medications.

  • Public Health Centers

    Visit your local health center to safely dispose of medications.

  • Community Centers & Public Facilities

    Use drop-off bins at nearby community centers and public facilities.

Before You Visit

What to Confirm

  • Do not throw unused household medications into regular trash or sinks. Use designated collection bins or an approved local collection point.
  • Operating hours and accepted items can vary by city, district, or facility, so checking the latest local notice before visiting is the safest option.
  • Powders, liquids, and sharps may require separate handling instructions. Confirm them with the relevant health center or pharmacy first.
