Do not flush prescription or over-the-counter medications down the toilet or sink.

Wastewater treatment facilities are not equipped to “filter out” drugs and personal care items.

Protect your drinking water by keeping these products out of our rivers, waterways, and groundwater.

Dispose of them through a “take back” program.

See www.dontflushdrugs.com for details on Washtenaw County’s program.

OR wrap containers in duct tape and several layers of plastic bags before putting them in your trash.

Other “take back” programs include:

Livingston County’s Big Red Barrel

Oakland County’s Operation Medicine Cabinet
