Is your medicine cabinet full of expired medications or medications you no longer use? Do you know the proper way to dispose of these drugs? Many people toss expired or unused medications by flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash. The problem is that chemicals found in certain medications end up in our lakes, streams, and water supplies.
