You know, I used to think the same thing. When I had a cabinet full of expired meds (antibiotics, painkillers, etc)., I went around to all the pharmacies around me asking if they would take and dispose of them. None would. I even went to the local hospital. They didn't want anything to do with them. I ended up incinerating them myself.
There needs to be a better system of disposing of expired meds.
