Through collaboration with local pharmacies, health providers, consumers, and waste management, the Green Pharmacy Campaign offers an environmentally positive alternative to throwing unwanted drug waste down the drain, toilet, or in the trash, by providing take-back sites for unwanted medications. Learn more about the The Green Pharmacy Program.

Teleosis Institute (a local non-profit) is leading these efforts to curb pharmaceutical pollution and is dedicated to healthy medicine and a healthy environment.
