Old prescription medicine can be difficult to dispose of properly. The old-fashioned solution was to flush it down the toilet, but studies have shown prescription medicine can pollute our water sources and harm aquatic wildlife. Throwing medication in the trash can lead to abuse and misuse by children and wild animals. CVS is making medication disposal easy by offering a safe and inexpensive solution: For $3.99, you can fill a postage-paid envelope with medicine, and it will be sent to a licensed facility for safe destruction.
