Iowans can now safely dispose of unused and expired medications free of charge at more than 300 Iowa pharmacies.
During the 2009 session, we passed legislation to create a pharmaceutical collection and disposal pilot program. The TakeAway program is administered by the Iowa Pharmacy Association with a grant from the DNR’s Solid Waste Alternatives Program.
Participating pharmacies have TakeAway drop-off boxes where Iowans can deposit unwanted medications, which will be disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly way. Locate participating pharmacies and medications that will be accepted at www.iarx.org/takeaway.
