Oregon’s Safe Drug Disposal Program

What do you and/or your patients do with medicine that you no longer need? Did you know that Oregon has a program to ensure people have safe, free ways to dispose of medication?

Since 2021, Oregon’s safe drug disposal program has allowed people to return unwanted or expired medication at drop boxes by picking up prepaid mail-back envelopes, or by requesting prepaid mail-back packages online. To find a location near you, click here

Oregon’s Kitchen Table is partnering with MED-Project to hear from people in Oregon about how the safe medicine disposal program is working for you and what would make it easier and more convenient for you to use. There are several ways to share what you think:
