Strategy
The Deterra® Drug Deactivation and Disposal System is a safe medication disposal pouch or container that can be used at home or in a clinical setting. It is a safe, easy choice used to destroy and properly dispose of unused, unwanted and expired medications with the simple addition of tap water. Northampton County Health Department distributes these pouches to citizens in the office and through community events. The strategy is to make sure homes have easy, safe access to medication disposal.
