Its a veryyy specific two part process though I can't remember exactly what the pharmacist told them to do and yes this is a VERY SERIOUS issue all around. In the us its with anti-depressants and hormone drugs in the water mostly - with Europe though its just hormone drugs AFAIK - that alone is due to traces from people.. err... peeing it out and processing unable to remove it completely... >> I really wouldn't just throw something like that in the water - no matter how much you dilute it - the same amount is still going through into the water supply.

Our county has an incinerator and they will take old drugs for a fee.

If I'm not mistaken this drug has a expiration date after it has been diluted to use? 7-10 days?? ( Please correct me if Im wrong)
It only becomes weaker in time after it's expired date. Let it sit in the open container for a long period and evaporate? Then throw container away?

They do say to toss it after 1-2 weeks after it has been diluted, but I have used liquid amoxicillin for months and it was still effective.

You could leave the container open to dry out, like paint, and toss the container in the trash. Good plan.
