On April 29th, 2016 the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) launched its new Drug Disposal Web Page for businesses and citizens of Michigan. It includes:
- Locations and information on drug “takeback” activities throughout the state.
- Provides information for the healthcare industry on proper drug disposal.
- Drug disposal options for both households and non-households, i.e. commercial or industry.
- Universal Waste Guidance in Michigan. Why? Because Michigan is one of only two states – what up Florida? – that allows disposal of pharmaceuticals as a universal waste. View my presentation on this topic: The Identification and Management of Universal Waste in Michigan.
Unwanted drugs should not be flushed down the drain!
