I work in a rehab hospital and when someone passes away, the medication gets destroyed. How much we could be helping people! The only thing I can find is a donation center for medications for people with needs is in Cheyenne, WY. I was looking into this too.

I think that there are a lot of people in your position who have drugs that they would rather see used than tossed. We will continue to check on this periodically. Michelle,

I checked with the state board of pharmacy yesterday, and they said there are not yet any programs in Colorado. I spoke with a couple of hospitals, and they suggested that you check with your mother's doctor and pharmacist, to see if maybe they can take back unopened medications - it's worth a try. Good luck, and please let us know if you find anything. Louise Cristy,

Have you found any prescription recycle program here in Colorado? My mother passed away recently and we have several prescriptions we’d like to donate. I’ve looked up the organizations that have been mentioned to me and they don’t seem to take prescriptions.
