When meds expired, we used to just throw them in the trash. Then we realized people might fish them out and ingest them, and that they could hurt the environment. So we started flushing them instead.
Now we learn that flushing pills can also pollute the environment, not to mention wind up in our drinking water.
So what to do with those old meds?
Try this easy, and surprisingly fun, method of safe disposal.
