Abstract
This community project aimed to research local infrastructure for the safe disposal of unused pharmaceuticals and provide a user friendly summary to be made available to patients. In doing so, the long term goal was to increase participation in drug disposal programs to improve the health of the community by decreasing drug diversion, use of expired medications, and improper disposal resulting in environmental accumulation.
