· This program is anonymous and all efforts should be made to protect the anonymity of individuals disposing of medications.  No questions or requests for identification will be be made.  Individuals should deposit medication freely and independently.

·  The individual may dispose of medication either in its original container or by removing medication from its container and disposing directly into the drug disposal box.  If the original container is submitted, the individual is encouraged to remove the prescription label if it contains any personal identifying information.

 ·  Liquid products, such as cough medicine, should remain sealed in their original container.  The depositor should ensure that the cap is tightly sealed to prevent leakage.
