Medical Disposal Program

Lehan Drugs is now offering a new drug take back program to help the community safely dispose of medicines that may be dangerous to others and to the environment.

Patients of any pharmacy are invited to safely dispose of unused and expired medications at Lehan Drugs in DeKalb and Lehan Drugs at the DeKalb Clinic in Sycamore, free of charge, by bringing in the drugs in their original stock containers. Our pharmacies will work to dispose of the drugs using the Sharps TakeAway™ Environmental Return System, a safe, easy method to dispose of unused patient medications in an environmentally friendly way.

As members of the community, pharmacists are in a prime position to ensure the safe and proper handling of medications, from dispensing to disposal. Unused or expired medications pose risks to our families, communities, and the environment. We welcome all in the community to come and talk to our pharmacists about their prescriptions and how to store, use and dispose of them properly.

For more information on the medication disposal program, contact a Lehan’s pharmacist at 815-758-0913 or 815-217-3890, or visit Dispose My Meds.
