How do you properly dispose of not needed narcotics?
The pharmacy won’t take them back.
I had surgery and I used four of the tablets. I have 76 left. There are traces of drugs in the water supply so I won’t flush them.
Discard to the landfill.

Well, some people dump them down the toilet. Not a good choice, goes into the water system. Read (past tense there) about it.
Throw it into the trash, well, it will stay there for about a 100 years or so unless you live in say, an earthquake zone and then the landfill could get a crack and leak stuff out.
Just throw them into the trash bottle and all don’t dump them out.
Call the EPA? They won’t help, that was a joke.
Do a web search and see how to properly dispose of them.

When I was nursing, we would dispose of them by flushing them down the toilet in front of witnesses and then document our actions.

Couldn’t the pharmacy just take them from you and put them in their garbage?
I have been told not to do this, but put them into the toilet bowl and flush them down. Or, you can put them into a plastic bag, well secured, and wrap in layer after layer of newspaper and put into your regular garbage.

Give them to me. I’ll take care of the rest.

Keep them. You never know you might wish you had some narcotics around one day.

Contact your local hospital. Some have facilities for disposal. (Some send to a landfill, but at least you tried).
This is actually a fairly significant problem that no one has a real answer for. Incineration is the best method that I’ve seen identified (and I don’t mean backyard, I mean serious heat to break down the compounds).

I’d call the DEA, tell them that you want to dispose of an unused and unwanted controlled substance. I’d check their website as well.
