Non-Controlled Pharmaceutical Disposal
Through Secure Drop Boxes and Supervised Events
At Your Door Special CollectionSM continues to be a strong proponent of programs that help keep our environment safe from harmful pollutants. We operate with a strong sense of responsibility to recycle all waste streams to the highest degree possible. When recycling is not possible, as is the case with non-controlled pharmaceuticals, we design rigorous programs that manage this waste safely and securely from the source through final destruction.
HOME GENERATED NON-CONTROLLED PHARMACEUTICALS
Although At Your Door does not offer door-to-door collections for non-controlled pharmaceuticals, we do offer several collection opportunities for them, including collections from drop boxes strategically placed in secure public facilities, e-mail: dropbox@wm.com and/or pharmacies; or through special event venues.
GOVERNMENT SPONSORED DROP-BOX PROGRAM
At Your Door Special CollectionSM designed the drop-box for use by government agencies and pharmacies for the collection of home generated non-controlled pharmaceuticals. The boxes can be placed at libraries, city hall, senior centers or other locations where people congregate. The drop-box must be placed inside of a building that can be secured when the facility is closed. At Your Door Special CollectionSM will visit the box as necessary to remove the materials. The box will accept original containers, liquid and solid. A listing of controlled substances is attached to the drop-box so that participants can be sure that they are not leaving controlled substances.
PHARMACEUTICAL COLLECTION EVENTS (non-controlled items only)
At Your Door Special CollectionSM can organize an event for a public agency where residents are directed to a senior center or parking lot where they can dispose of their unwanted, non-controlled pharmaceuticals. The collected materials are destroyed on site.
