As part of their Stop Everyday Killers campaign, The National Safety Council has provided a website where you can order Stericycle disposal envelopes free of charge.
From their website: “These DEA-compliant 8”x12” envelopes are designed to hold up to 8 oz. of medication, of which 4 oz. may be liquid in a sealed container. Stericycle will destroy the medication using a process that is secure and safe for the environment. Envelopes are U.S. postage-paid, pre-addressed and include complete instructions.”
