WE’RE RETHINKING HOW AMERICA MANAGES ITS MEDICATIONS
Every year, more than 6 billion prescriptions are filled in the United States. An estimated 2 billion of them go unused.
These unused or leftover medications – especially opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, and antibiotics – are often saved “just in case” or improperly discarded because people don’t know that a simple solution exists. Despite national efforts, fewer than 0.5% of unused medications are returned through official DEA take-back programs, leaving the vast majority at risk for misuse, accidental poisonings, antibiotic resistance and environmental harm.
THE STAGGERING REALITY:70%
of teens who misuse opioids get them from friends and family.
51%
of teens report access to opioids via home medicine cabinets.
25%
of teens (1 in 4) admit to misusing stimulants like Adderall.
3x
Benzodiazepine overdose deaths have tripled since 2010.
100k
overdose deaths annually.
80%
of waterways test positive for trace pharmaceutical waste.
At DisposeRx, we believe a safer future starts at home.
For nearly a decade, we’ve helped drive a national shift in how America manages unused prescriptions—bringing awareness to in-home disposal and making it safe, simple, and affordable for everyone.
Each DisposeRx packet mixes with water in the prescription vial to render the medication inaccessible, unusable, and ready for safe disposal in your household trash.
With more than 46 million packets distributed and pharmacy partners in every state, we’re proud to help families and communities take meaningful action.
Together, we’re creating healthier homes, stronger communities, and a safer world.
