Walgreens safe medication disposal kiosks are available during regular pharmacy hours and offer one of the best ways to ensure medications are not accidentally used or intentionally misused.
Individuals can safely and conveniently dispose of their unwanted, unused or expired medications at no cost. Simply bring them to a Walgreens with a safe disposal kiosk and deposit the medication in the kiosk—much like dropping a letter into a mailbox. The kiosks are available during regular pharmacy hours and are located in most states and Washington DC. To find a kiosk in your area, please visit our Store Locator.
