Why do we incinerate old medications?
- Medications tossed in garbage end up in the soil or leach into our drinking water.
- DO NOT FLUSH Most medications cannot be filtered out by Wastewater Plant technology.
- Old medications end up in the wrong hands through theft or accident.
If you choose to dispose of medication at home follow these steps to prevent hazards:
- Mix medicines (liquid or pills) with a substance such as dirt, cat litter, or used coffee grounds;
- Place the mixture in a sealed container or plastic bag;
- Throw away the container in your trash
Program is made possible through the cooperation of City of Newberg Public Works Division and Newberg-Dundee Police along with Waste Management Inc. If you have questions, contact Amy Kepler (503) 554-7747
