FAQ | Sustainability & Environment

When pharmaceuticals are flushed down the drain, the chemical components can leech into waterways, potentially contaminating local flora and fauna as well as ground-based water supplies. Additionally, there are legal considerations: the US EPA has banned the sewering of any hazardous pharmaceuticals. 

Chemical compounds found in pharmaceuticals have the potential to damage local environments when not properly disposed of. By safely denaturing the potentially harmful chemicals found in certain pharmaceuticals, Secure a Drug helps to ensure that those chemicals do not pollute environments either through disposal down a drain into local waterways or through exposure in a landfill.
