Safety-Focused Medication Collection Kiosks

Kinney Drugs Now Offers Self-Service Drug Collection

— August 3, 2022 — Lifestyle
Kinney Drugs has completed its installation of 75 medication collection kiosks in all of its New York locations to help make it easier for consumers to properly dispose of expired drugs or meds.

The kiosks were installed in partnership with the NYS Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement and MED-Project, and can be used by anyone instead of only being for Kinney patients. The kiosks can be used for disposing of old or expired prescriptions and over-the-counter medications for humans and pets alike. The kiosks are also a suitable place for controlled substances to be disposed of, but are not for sharps, needles or medical/biohazardous waste.

Kinney Drugs President John Marraffa commented on the new medication collection kiosks saying, "It is crucially important to dispose of medications properly to prevent diversion into the wrong hands or the environment. As a pharmacy, Kinney Drugs is dedicated to keeping people healthy, and these disposal sites provide an easy, convenient way to safely dispose of unwanted medications."
Trend Themes
1. Medication Disposal Solutions - Innovative medication disposal solutions, like self-service kiosks, are needed to ensure proper waste management and prevent drug misuse.
2. Pet Medication Disposal - Disposing of pet medications in a responsible manner can provide new opportunities for waste management products tailored specifically for animal medications.
3. Controlled Substances Disposal - Companies can develop specialized kiosks or containers for controlled substances, minimizing environmental impact and possible misuse.
Industry Implications
1. Pharmacy - Pharmacies adopting the concept of medication collection kiosks can provide better customer service and contribute to a safer environment.
2. Waste Management - The waste management industry can implement unique disposal methods for medication and medical waste, ensuring proper treatment and disposal.
3. Healthcare - Healthcare providers can work closely with pharmacies and waste management companies to increase awareness of proper medication disposal practices and promote safer communities.
