Download SWANCC's Prescription Drug/Sharps Disposal Program Brochure |
The Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County's Prescription Drug/Sharps Disposal Program ensures environmentally-safe disposal and guards against potential theft associated with disposing of old medications.
The program is for residentially-generated unused prescriptions, expired over-the-counter drugs, and needles known as “sharps”. No commercial or institutional waste will be accepted and IDs will be checked. Please keep medications in their original containers, as it is necessary to know what medications the contractor is dealing with. Personal information may be blacked out for safety.
In addition to disposing of medications and sharps, SWANCC will also provide a one-quart sharps container to SWANCC residents who administer home-injections. Containers can be obtained at designated drop-off locations. When the SWANCC sharps container is full, the resident should bring the container back to the drop-off location in their community for proper disposal.
