Unwanted Medication Disposal
Safe disposal of unwanted medications, sharps and inhalers is important for the health of our families, community and environment. It is important to keep these substances out of our water. There are several options for safe medication disposal in Clark County.
MED-Project - Medication Collection and Disposal Program in Washington
Clark County Public Health has teamed up with the nonprofit MED-Project LLC to provide free disposal of expired, unwanted or unused medicine safely and conveniently.
