Nebraska MEDS

Nebraska MEDS NebraskaMEDS Coalition is here to help communities dispose of leftover medications.

In response to ongoing concerns about pharmaceutical waste, the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department, the Nebraska Pharmacists Association, the Nebraska Regional Poison Center, the Groundwater Foundation, the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, and others created the Nebraska MEDS Coalition. Nebraskans can dispose of their lefto

ver medication at local pharmacies across the state. Never flush your leftover medication; take it back to your pharmacy for safe and legal disposal via incineration.

Medication often looks, smells, and tastes like candy and can be a major safety concern. This similarity can be extremely dangerous for children who might accidentally ingest them.

Eliminate the risk! Remove unwanted or expired medications from your home. Take them back to a participating pharmacy today.

Prescription drug misuse includes taking more than prescribed, using meds for reasons other than intended, or taking medication not prescribed to you. Opioids and other common prescriptions carry serious risks, including overdose. More info: samhsa.gov/opioids

Did you know?

Improperly disposing of your unused or expired medications can harm the environment.

When flushed, put down the drain, or thrown in the trash, over-the-counter and prescription medications can contaminate landfills and water supplies.

Sadly, most water treatment facilities don’t have the capacity to remove these emerging contaminants.

❌ DO NOT FLUSH, DRAIN, or TRASH your medication! Take them back to a participating pharmacy.

🐾 Spring is here... and so is flea and tick season!

If you're digging out your pet's medication this spring, take a peek in that cabinet. Got expired flea treatments, old heartworm pills, or leftover prescriptions from a previous pet? Don't toss them in the trash or flush them down the drain.

Our program accepts pet medications (along with your own expired or unused prescriptions) at 300+ participating pharmacies across Nebraska. It's completely FREE and takes just a few minutes.

✅ Follow your prescription exactly as written
✅ Never share or borrow medications
✅ Safely dispose of unused pills (see Nebraska MEDS)
