Medication Disposal - "DON’T SHARE YOUR MEDICATION WITH THE WATERSHED"
Traces of medications can make their way through our sewer system and wastewater treatment facilities into our groundwater. This can happen when individuals flush unused medications down sinks or toilets. Since the wastewater treatment process is not designed to remove medications from the waste stream, traces of medications may remain present when treated wastewater is returned to the environment.
The City of Tucson operates a household hazardous waste program that is funded by the City of Tucson and Pima County. This program accepts a variety of household hazardous wastes including pesticides, paint products, motor oil and a host of other toxic household products.
Needles and syringes are hazardous medical waste and should be disposed of properly. To reduce the risk of needle stick injuries, the City of Tucson and Pima County are asking residents to dispose of needles and syringes in the following manner:
1. Place all needles and syringes in a secured puncture proof plastic container with a screw-on lid (for example: a rigid detergent, bleach or fabric softener bottle).
2. Clearly label the container “NON-RECYCLABLE” and dispose of it in your trash container.
3. Once filled to no more than 2 inches from the top, tightly secure the lid and reinforce with duct tape.
4. Place the container into your trash; do not place this container in with your other recyclables.
