DisposeRX

Leaving unused prescription drugs in your medicine cabinet can have dangerous — even deadly — consequences. But simply throwing them out or flushing them away is damaging to the environment, according to EPA studies. DisposeRX provides a convenient solution to this critical issue: a patented drug-disposal powder that when mixed with warm water turns any prescription drug — whether pill, tablet, liquid, powder, or patch — into a biodegradable gel that can be tossed in the trash. Founded in part by Dennis Wiggins WG76, the company sells its powder packets through pharmacies and wholesale distributors and has donated them to more than 275 organizations to advance its mission of eradicating prescription-drug misuse.
