Different : organizations will often post when they will collect them. For instance a pharmacy or a Fire Station. We used to accept expired drugs quarterly on a Saturday. Please don't flush down the toilet as that can harm wildlife and contaminate water.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
