Answer 1

Do you have a cat? If so, crush them up and put it in the used litter/sand... either that or take them to a local drugstore.

Take them to your pharmacist, they have the facilities to dispose of them safely, it is not a good idea to flush them, unless you have no social conscience.

Call a local hospital and pharmacy.  They can help you.

Flushing them is the best way to get rid of them.

Answer 11

Check with your doctor or clinic first. If they can't help you, contact your local government. It is important that you don't flush them into the waste water system. Imagine how that can pollute our groundwater and create a danger for others.
