Medication disposal pouches

The Alliance offers FREE Medication Disposal Pouches. The disposal pouches allow you to place your pills, patches, or liquid in the bag, addwater, and neutralize medication effectively, and safely. Our goal is to get the pouches distributed throughout the Bay Area with a targeted focus on those who may have opioid prescriptions which need to be destroyed.

Dispose RX

DisposeRx packets make it safe to throw medication in your home trash. The packets have a powder that you mix with water right in the medication bottle so that the medication becomes unusable and safe for the environment. To get DisposeRx packets for your medications, just contact us.
