litter in my car at all times but one may use old coffee grounds, ground up
cayenne or other substances.&nbsp; We utilize old liquid laundry soap bottles
or other containers, fill them with the litter, pour the medications into the
litter in the bottle and fill it with water.&nbsp; We shake it up, seal it and
dispose of it in the trash.&nbsp; The litter and water makes the medication into
a slurry that is unusable.&nbsp; Unfortunately, we do not have any control over
the facility&#8217;s drug disposal policies.&nbsp; I hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
