...The best way to dispose of expired, unwanted medicines is in the trash, not down the drain?

The Clark County Water Reclamation District and the Cities of Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas teamed up to ask our residents to help keep certain items out of our communities' sewer systems. With the slogan, "Just Can It," the "Don't be a Pain in the Drain" campaign began with an initial focus on helping to reduce the amounts of cooking fat, oils, grease and grit (FOGG) that enter the sewer collection lines and cause stoppages.

The award winning, internationally recognized campaign has been expanded and now consists of three major areas of focus: the original FOGG reduction program, the Medicine Disposal Program, and the Free from Debris Program. The Medicine Disposal Program provides instructions regarding the proper disposal of prescription and over-the-counter medications (in the trash and not down the drain), and the Free from Debris Program provides tools and information to local contractors to keep the sewer lines in the collection system free of construction debris.
