Expired Medication
The City of Westminster prefers that unused drugs not be flushed down the toilet. Doing so introduces these drugs to the environment. Even though the amount from a single pill is small, the accumulation of these small amounts and the yet-unknown effects on aquatic life and the water environment concern us.
The preferred option: Take advantage of community pharmaceutical take-back programs that allow you to bring unused drugs to central locations for proper disposal. Different pharmacies offer different programs. Some will take back drugs they sold, some take back all drugs, some take back none and others offer solutions somewhere in between. Contact your local pharmacy. King Soopers pharmacy now offers a mail back program for medications for $2.99.
Second option: Remove the prescription drug or medication from the original container and mix it with an undesirable substance such as used coffee grounds or kitty litter. Put that mixture in a nondescript container that won’t leak such as an empty can or a sealable bag. This ensures the drugs aren’t diverted for non-medical use or accidentally ingested by children or pets. Dispose of these containers in the trash.

smoke detectors
smoke detectors can be one of two kinds: photoelectric or ionizing. the ionizing variety contains a small amount of radioactive material, americium-241. although more expensive, homeowners should consider purchasing the photoelectric variety to avoid future disposal problems. smoke detectors with an ionizing sensor will usually indicate on the back of the unit that it should not be disposed of in the regular trash. in this case, the unit should be returned to the manufacturer (which should also be listed) for proper long-term disposal. if the manufacturer is no longer in business or is not willing to accept the used detector, household smoke detectors may be disposed of in the trash. to prevent the smoke detector from accidentally being broken, wrap the unit in several layers of newspaper and carefully place in the trash. the battery should be removed from the unit prior to disposal. these procedures are intended for smoke detectors from a household only. source: colorado department of public health and environment.
