Prescription Drug Disposal
About:
Montgomery County ESD 4/ Needham Fire Rescue offers a free, year-round medication disposal program to help prevent medication misuse and protect the environment. Through this mail-back envelope system, residents can safely dispose of unused or expired prescriptions—no postage, return address, or cost required.
Instead of throwing medications in the trash or flushing them down the drain, residents are encouraged to use these envelopes as a safer, more responsible option. This program is especially helpful for elderly or homebound residents, as a family member, friend, or neighbor can pick up an extra envelope on their behalf.
