NATIONAL CLEAN OUT YOUR MEDICINE CABINET DAY
NATIONAL CLEAN OUT YOUR MEDICINE CABINET DAY
National Clean Out Your Medicine Cabinet Day occurs annually on the third Friday in April. The day aims to raise awareness and effectively rid homes of unused or expired prescription and over-the-counter medications sitting in medicine cabinets, nightstands, or kitchen cabinets that have the potential for misuse or abuse by family members, friends, or visitors.
How to Do It Right
How you dispose of your expired or unused medications is just as important as why. Environmental studies show that flushed medications flow into our water supply. They negatively impact the fish we eat and the water we drink. When discarded in the trash, medications leach into and contaminate the soil.
At-home drug disposal solutions offer a simple, convenient and effective way of disposing of unwanted medications. If you have large quantities of leftover medications or as a supplement to at-home drug disposal, you may also consider participating in the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA’s) National Drug Takeback Day generally held in the spring and fall of each year.
HOW TO OBSERVE #CleanOutMedsDay
- Take time during National Clean Out Your Medicine Cabinet Day to help remove your home of risks associated with leftover medications and do your part to help fight drug addiction.
- Review your medications—as well as those of your pets—wherever you store them.
- Medicine cabinet
- Nightstand
- Kitchen cabinets.
- Then easily and effectively dispose of any leftover or expired medications by using an at-home disposal solution like DisposeRx.

Great info about disposal of which I was unaware! Thanks!
The local sheriff's office here in my county has a Drop Box that you can dispose your unused meds in. It's like a small mailbox but heavily secured.
When my wife's mother passed away (God rest her beautiful, sweet soul), we went through her medicine and I said I would flush it down the toilet.
My wife said you can't do that. I think I argued with her about it because it was a stressful time, and I just wanted to be done with it.
Welp, she was right...the medicines that she was taking should NEVER be flushed down the toilet to a public water treatment facility.
Great job always keeping your wife happy!!
Happy wife, happy husband!
It doesn't always work out that way, but I certainly try! I've got three other girls in the house to keep happy too!
And I wouldn't have it any other way...I wouldn't take 10 boys for each girl.
I am keeping mine in case of a zombie apocalypse. even at reduced effectiveness, it'll be a high-value commodity
