Clackamas County offering new option for safe drug disposal

Clackamas County is now offering free Deterra medication disposal pouches to help residents dispose of unused drugs safely. These pouches are available at 20 convenient locations throughout the county.

“When you keep unused drugs in your home, they may be taken by people who shouldn’t take them—including children,” said Dr. Sarah Present, Clackamas County Health Officer. “Using Deterra medication disposal pouches is one way people can help prevent drug misuse and accidental ingestion.”
