Proper disposal of medication keeps our communities safe and healthy.
Sparrow has placed permanent medication disposal bins at seven of our locations throughout Mid-Michigan. The Medication Disposal Program provides an easy way for Patients and community members to properly dispose of excess medications.

Proper disposal of medications helps reduce:
» contamination of our landfills and water sources.
» misuse and abuse of opioid prescriptions, which can lead to addiction.
Just follow a few simple steps for safe and convenient disposal of over-the-counter and prescription medications you no longer need or use.
Using the Medication Disposal Program Bins
- Ensure all medications are in a sealed container or plastic bag.
- If using an original prescription bottle, please remove any personal information.
- Place the medications into the Sparrow Medical Disposal Program bin.
