Expired or unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medications from households should never be disposed of by flushing them down the toilet or a drain. Although this method of disposal prevents accidental ingestion, it can cause contamination to the aquatic environment because wastewater treatment systems are not designed to remove many of these medications.
The Town is currently evaluating unwanted medication disposal programs. Until a program is in place, residents can use a mail-back unwanted medication disposal program, such as the one offered by Sharps Compliance Inc. 800-772-5657 www.sharpsinc.com
Please contact Concord Public Works at 978-318-3240 for additional information on disposal options.
