Don't flush unwanted medication!

The City of Sonoma would like to remind everyone that pharmaceuticals are not to be disposed of in landfills or in our water supply. Safe disposal of medications is available at participating drop-off locations listed below. Bring any unwanted medication (in original containers with personal information marked out) to any participating location for safe disposal during business hours. (Please, no ointments or liquids.)
While wastewater treatment removes most pollutants, trace amounts of some substances may be harmful to aquatic life. Over the last decade there is growing evidence that pharmaceuticals, when flushed down the toilet, tend to persist in highly treated wastewater. Continual, multi-generational exposure of aquatic life to multiple pharmaceuticals is proving to have negative consequences on our environment.
