medicine disposal the safe, earth-friendly way!
Throwing medicines and supplements in the trash or down the drain pollutes our waterways and contaminates our landfills. That's why California recently passed a bill that begins the process of figuring out a better way. But at Elephant Pharm, we've already come up with a safer, healthier alternative for you. Just drop off your expired or unused medicines at our pharmacy during regular pharmacy hours, and we'll make sure they're disposed of in a way that's good for the environment. And that's good for all of us.
