Banner Health offers a safe, convenient way to dispose of prescription drugs that are no longer needed or expired. Our drug disposal program helps protect your health, your family and the environment.
No matter your reason for disposing, you can find a drug disposal program at a Banner Family Pharmacy near you.
If you’ve ever wondered what to do with expired or unused medications, Banner Family Pharmacy makes it easy. Our Drug Disposal Program offers a safe and responsible way to discard medications.
Simply bring your prescription drugs to one of our designated Banner Pharmacy locations and use the MedSafe container for disposal.
Using expired medication can be dangerous. Over time, medicines can lose effectiveness or change in chemical composition. Some can even become harmful.
When using a MedSafe drug disposal bin, please follow these simple steps:
Do not place needles, inhalers, aerosols or other medical supplies in the MedSafe bin.
If you don’t have access to a Banner Family Pharmacy location, some prescription and over-the-counter drugs can be disposed of safely at home. The FDA’s flush list provides guidance on which medications can be flushed, while others can be sealed and placed in household trash.
