How should I dispose of medications that are no longer necessary or have expired? You may contact your local state environmental agencies or state board of pharmacy if you have concerns about getting rid of a particular unused medication. Since legal requirements can vary from state to state, you should contact your local state authority if you have questions about medication disposal.
