Do Not Flush Your Drugs
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation recommends that individuals do not flush or pour unwanted, unused or expired medications down the drain. Pharmaceuticals can enter treated wastewater from a variety of sources including the flushing of unused medications. A number of medicines are showing up in rivers and streams as well as numerous public water supplies. Instead of flushing medicines, you should place your unused, unwanted or expired drugs directly in the trash. For more information contact the Authority office. |
