Rosie came across this, and actually told me to post this article. It was in The Baltimore Sun's Parade Magazine July 4, 2010 issue.

It basic states that leftover medicines safely is not about flushing them down the toilet or throwing them away in the trash. The National Community of Pharmacists Assoc. has launced a "Dispose My Meds" campaign. More than 800 communiity pharmicies in 40 states have signed on. It's easy to do. Find a partcipapating pharmacy and it will send them to a medical waste facility. Or you will get a postage paid envelope to use to mail everything direcly from your home. Some of the medicine and other medical supplies are also recycled for those who are in need.

Go to DisposeMyMeds.org for details and to find a pharmacy near you.

Namaste,
Drew
