Procedure on How To Dispose Of Expired Or Discontinued Medication Non-retrievable is the required end result. A substance is rendered non-retrievable when its physical or chemical state is permanently and irreversibly altered, unavailable and unusable for all practical purposes. The only means of current technologies that may achieve the non-retrievable standard are INCINERATION and CHEMICAL DESTRUCTION. The RX Destroyer Drug Disposal System* or similar brand bottle meets the DEA non-retrievable standard for chemical destruction. The full bottle may be discarded in common garbage. Once a controlled substance is rendered non-retrievable, it is no longer subject to the requirements of the DEA regulations. In consideration of the Disposal Act’s goal to decrease the amount of pharmaceutical controlled substances introduced into the environment, the DEA emphasizes that SEWERING (toilet flushing or drain pouring) and LANDFILL (crushing to disguise with kitty litter or coffee grounds) and SEWER & LANDFILL OPTIONS DO NOT MEET the non-retrievable standard. The RX Destroyer Drug Disposal System can be ordered from Ready Meds Pharmacy and can be delivered with your normal medication delivery. More information on drug disposal may be found at http://www. DEAdiversion.usdoj.gov and at www.rxdestroyer.com
