I posted about this in Green Living, but didn't get any responses. We have well water, so I don't want to pour it down the sink. Should I pour it on the ground somewhere, and if so what kind of spot should I choose? How would you go about it. I have left over Bactrim, Amoxicilin, and Augmentin. My DD1 was sick for a long time, and they prescribed too much for the dose periods each time.

I don't know what the process is there, but here in WI you have to bring your medications in to a local semi-annual medication round-up. It's free and it is sponsored by the county. It's a separate place from our regular trash and recycling drop-off (we don't have curb side collection where we live). Perhaps check with your county waste collection people?

Take them to a pharmacy.

a vet once told me you should open them and microwave for 30 secs.

I'd take them back to a pharmacy or check with your local health department. I could be wrong, but I don't think you *EVER* want to pour antiboticis down the drain, irregardless of where you live - they inevitably end up int he water supply and contribute to antibiotic resistance from what I've read.

All medications should be sent to the pharmacy and they will dispose of them properly...
