Why Dispose of Medications Properly? Don't Rush to Flush! Our residential septic systems and wastewater treatment plants are not designed to break down the chemicals that make up medications. Therefore, if we flush expired or unused medications, we can contaminate the creeks, rivers, lakes, wells and groundwater.

Latex paint is water based and therefore, non-toxic. Although, we want to limit the amount of items we send to the landfill, in this case it is safe to dispose of the latex paint in this manner. 1. See if there is a REUSE purpose for your leftover paint either in your own home or at a local non-profit organization.
