SAFELY DISPOSE OF UNUSED PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS

The Deterra Drug Deactivation and Disposal System is a simple,
environmentally safe way to get rid of unneeded drugs

WHY DO WE NEED SAFE MEDICATION DISPOSAL?

1) Over 40 people die every day in the U.S. from a prescription opioid overdose, according to the CDC

2) More than 60% of people with leftover prescription opioids keep unused pills instead of
disposing of them

3) Most misused medications are taken from friends and family

4) Destroying medications with Deterra keeps children, pets and others safe from accidentally ingesting unused or expired drugs

5) Properly disposing of unneeded drugs helps prevent them from being misused or stolen

6)At-home drug deactivation and disposal helps keep unused medications out of our water and soil
