Disposal Guidelines for UTAH

-- DO NOT FLUSH! DO NOT POUR! --

Prescription, or over-the-counter medications, should not be flushed down the toilet or sink. Follow these guidelines to dispose of these products properly:

1. If possible take your medications to a disposal location listed on this website (Wasatch County Disposal Locations) or visit www.MedicationDisposal.utah.gov for other disposal sites in Utah.


2. Dispose of medications yourself. Don’t allow friends, neighbors, or relatives to dispose of them for you; this increases the risk of misuse and abuse.


3. If you are unable to dispose of in a collection site, follow these steps:

- Crush pills and place in a sealable bag;

- Add dish soap, coffee grounds, kitty litter or another undesirable substance, or;

- If liquid medication, mix with salt, baking soda, or another dry undesirable substance, and then;

- Seal bag and place in your trash on the day of pick-up.
