Safely storing and disposing of your prescription medications helps keep family, friends, kids and pets in your home safe from accidental or purposeful ingestion.
Also, flushing medications or tossing them in the trash is a danger to our waterways and wildlife.
Vermont makes it easy to store and get rid of your unused medication.
With over 80 locations statewide, getting rid of unused medication is easy and more convenient than ever. Check the list below to find the pharmacy, health care facility and police departments that host free and easy to use kiosks. The list also includes times you can drop of your medication and what type of medication is accepted.
Materials accepted vary by location. Sharps (syringes/needles) are not accepted at all locations. Learn how to safely dispose of a found needle.
Tip: If you are looking for pharmacies, search "pharmacy."
