What is the proper way to dispose of medications?
Question:
What is the proper way to dispose of medications?
Answer:
The URLs below give information about the disposal of medications in Palo Alto and the S.F. Bay Area. There is an article about a new law allowing the reuse or recycling of unopened unexpired medications to help out people with financial needs. If any of these links do not open properly and/or if you need further information, please let me know.
