Prescription Drug
Colorado law requires that unused household medications be disposed of at approved collection sites.
Follow the link below to find collection locations.
Do NOT flush your old or leftover prescription drugs or other medications down the drain. Wastewater treatment plants are not designed to remove these chemicals and compounds, so they can pass through to local waterways and have harmful effects on animals, humans and the environment.
