Medication Disposal Sites

Disposal of unwanted medication

DEC’s Pilot Pharmaceutical Take-Back Program provides the general public a safe and convenient means of disposing of their unwanted medications in an environmentally responsible manner. By doing so, we’re also taking proactive steps to combat the opioid epidemic that is plaguing many of our communities across the state. There are DEC-sponsored medication collection kiosks located at the Hudson Falls Police Department on Main Street and the Washington County Law Enforcement Center on Broadway. This service is free.
