Clean Water Tip

PHARMACEUTICALS

Never flush unused medications down the drain or toilet. They can end up in the ground, and eventually in the water we share.

What you can do

Take Action

Bring pharmaceuticals to a Red Med box location in the Battle Creek area. Click here for more information. Pharmaceuticals including aerosols and liquids are also accepted at Calhoun County Household Hazardous Waste Collections.
