This is good stuff except it's beginning to be the case that flushing unused
drugs is a bad idea. They're beginning to show up in the ecology in higher
than expected amounts and can cause some real problems.  After all they're
drugs and are supposed to do things.

Particularly if you want to dispose of drugs that may contain hormones, or
of strong pain killers, I'd call the farmacy where you got them and see if
they can properly dispose of them.  This is a new concern, so many places
may not yet be up to speed on it, but we need to begin making farmacies and
drug companies aware they need to deal with the full life cycle of there
products.  Just like with the electronics industry.
