Order-CS recommends following FDA guidelines for medication disposal. Most prescription medications can be disposed of through community drug take-back programs (authorized collectors). If no take-back program is available, most medications can be mixed with an unpalatable substance (coffee grounds or kitty litter) in a sealed bag and placed in household trash. Certain high-risk medications on the FDA flush list (opioids, stimulants) should be flushed to prevent accidental ingestion. Never crush or dissolve medications before disposal unless directed. See the FDA disposal guidelines for full details.
