Pharmaceutical Recycling

The Marin County Hazardous and Solid Waste Joint Powers Authority, San Rafael Fire Department and the Marin County Environmental Health have organized a new program to reduce used and discarded pharmaceuticals from the waste stream. Pharmacies are now accepting the unused medications and sending them to the proper disposal sites (usually an incinerator). Participating pharmacies are as follows: · Jack’s Drug Store in San Anselmo · Lawson-Dyer Pharmacy in Mill Valley · Marin Medical Pharmacy in San Rafael · Ross Valley Pharmacy in Larkspur. If you are a Kaiser member, see your Kaiser pharmacy to find out about their pharmaceutical disposal program. If you want to know what your large retail pharmacy is doing, contact them directly.
