A new drop-box for unused or expired household medications is now available to our patients, caregivers and employees. The gray kiosk is located next to the black "Sharps" disposal container in the 1st-floor hallway of the hospital across from the Key Bank ATM. The drop-box provides a convenient method for the proper and safe disposal of prescription and over-the-counter medications.
Removing unused medications from your home helps to increase the safety and health of our community by:
- Reducing potential harm to children, teens and adults
- Decreasing the possibility of drug abuse and diversion
- Protecting our environment and drinking water from contamination with medications.
Please note: the container is not intended for any hospital-generated pharmaceutical waste.
