This public service is provided at no cost, year-round, by
visiting a Walgreens safe medication disposal kiosk during regular
pharmacy hours. Kiosk locations can be found on walgreens.com via
the store locator. Use the search filter for ‘medication disposal
kiosk’ under the pharmacy section. Walgreens pharmacies that do not
have safe medication disposal kiosks offer DisposeRx or other drug
disposal options free of charge that are also available year-round
upon request at the pharmacy counter.
Collected medications, such as pills and tablets, are safely
disposed of at incineration facilities that are registered with the
federal Drug Enforcement Administration. Since the inception of its
safe medication disposal program in 2016, Walgreens has collected
and properly disposed of more than 4 million pounds of unused
prescription medications.
