A safe place for our patients to dispose of unused, unwanted or expired medication.
The TCRHCC Medications Disposal Program is setup to help patients dispose of their medications correctly and to prevent throwing their medications in the trash or flushed down the toilet, where they have the potential to harm the environment, children and pets.
The Medication Disposal drop off container accepts all prescription drugs; over-the-counter medications, narcotics, vitamins, inhalers, liquid medication (in container or bag), and medication samples.
TCRHCC Medication Disposal Program is accessible to everyone in the community and accepts medication returns 7-days a week from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM in the Outpatient Primary Care Center’s 1st Floor.
