I have several brands of antibiotic medication left over from DD's recent bouts of illness. They over prescribed for the time that we were to take the medications, and I have a lot that needs to be disposed of. How do I go about that? I hate to pour it down the drain. I hate to pour it on the ground, but what is the best option. Would it be less likely to effect anything if I pour it on the ground. That is what I am thinking right now. We live off-grid, so I'm not sure what my best options are.

Do not pour it down the drain!!! Please!!!
or on the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!
Contact your loca drug store or health dept.
In my area, they have collections once a year or so to collect different unused perscriptions.
Pleasepleaseplease! don't pour it down the drain or on the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I don't want to do either of those things. I know that's bad. I've kept them this long, so I'll keep them until the next trip to town.

FTR, around here, when we give them old meds they have to be in their original container so they know what type of medication.

Take them to the pharmacy. They will accept them for disposal.
