  • Patches, pills, liquids & creams
  • Expired & unused stock
  • Consumer take-back at home
In depth

One kit, closed loop.

What a DEA-authorized mail-back kit collects, who can use it, and how controlled and non-controlled meds are destroyed together.

What the kit collects

A DEA mail-back package can take the widest range of household and facility medication in one container.

What this covers
  • Controlled & non-controlled medications together
  • Tablets, capsules, patches
  • Liquids in original containers (per program)
Handle separately
  • Sharps & needles (own kit)
  • Inhalers/aerosols & illicit substances
  • Chemo/hazardous drugs (own path)

The rule — DEA — an authorized mail-back package may collect controlled and non-controlled medication together for non-retrievable destruction.

How to dispose — Seal the inner liner, mail the prepaid package, and we render the contents non-retrievable.Tip: Keep medications in the mail-back liner only — don't add sharps, which need their own container.

Who can use it

Mail-back kits serve both institutions and the public.

What this covers
  • Pharmacies & LTC facilities (authorized collectors)
  • Clinics offering patient take-back
  • Households disposing of personal medication
Handle separately
  • Anyone using it for illicit-drug disposal
  • Facilities substituting it for required inventory destruction records

The rule — DEA — retail pharmacies, hospitals/clinics with an on-site pharmacy, and LTC facilities can be authorized collectors; individuals can use household mail-back.

How to dispose — Match the program to your role — collector program vs. single-household kit.Tip: Long-term care has specific DEA provisions for disposing of a resident's medication — a mail-back program fits cleanly.

Documentation & destruction

The kit closes the loop with proof, not just a bin.

What this covers
  • Non-retrievable destruction of contents
  • A Certificate of Destruction
  • Tracking on the return package
Handle separately
  • Any expectation to inventory individual household contents
  • Reselling or reusing collected medication

The rule — DEA non-retrievable standard — collected medication is permanently destroyed; collectors may not inventory individual contents of a sealed liner.

How to dispose — Non-retrievable destruction with documentation returned to the account.Tip: For facilities, keep the Certificate of Destruction — it's your proof the program is closing the loop compliantly.
