Flushing prescription and over-the-counter drugs can create problems with our sewer treatment system.  They can also be harmful to people, pets and our environment if tossed in the trash.

If you have unused medications you need to dispose of, drop them off instead. 

Drop it Off:

Several pharmacies, including larger national chains, accept unused prescriptions, but not all individual stores offer drop-off services. Check with your local pharmacy to see if a drop-off box is available near you.

You can also drop off unused medications at locations listed in either of these two links:

• The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control Take Back Location Lookup
• The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality Medication Drop Off Locations

The City's Public Works Department offers a drop-off program for prescription medications during their annual Special Collection event, usually held each Spring. The 2025 event will take place on April 12. Be on the look out for an announcement in the monthly City News water bill newsletter or a news release for more information.

Prescription medications are not accepted at the City's Household Hazardous Waste facility.
