Old expired medications

Where do I take old 'Dated' medications for disposal? I tried to take to a pharmacy and was told they are accounted for meds provided to the customer and those thrown away.
I know I cannot place in for the garbage/trash. Certainly not flush in the toilet.
ANYONE?

Flushing them down the toilet is pretty safe ... The pills dissolve quickly and once your flush gets mixed with all the others, the concentration of the medication is so low that it would be nearly impossible to even measure it.

Many years ago, my Dad had a college project to figure out how much LSD needed to be dumped into a NY City Reservoir in order to get all of NY City hallucinating ... turned out to be roughly a dump truck worth ... not likely to ever happen in real life.
