To reduce medication waste and support patients in need, Valley Medical Center is launching a Drug Donation Program starting May 8, 2025. One survey has shown two-thirds of prescription drugs in U.S. households go unused—this program offers a way to put those medications to good use.
How It Works: Patients can donate sealed, unexpired prescription medications. Donations will be reviewed and, if eligible, redistributed at no cost to Valley patients in need of a temporary supply.
Starting May 8, donations are accepted during regular business hours at:
Prescription Pad Pharmacy North
3915 Talbot Rd S, Suite 201, Renton, WA 98055
Mon–Fri, 8 AM – 6 PM
Prescription Pad Pharmacy South
400 Talbot Rd S, Renton, WA 98055
Inside the main hospital, across from the Emergency Room
Daily, 8 AM – 2 AM
What We Accept:
- Sealed, unused medication bottles
- Individually packaged (unit-dose) medications
- Sealed, unused creams and ointments
- Sealed, unused inhalers
- Must have at least 6 months until expiration
Not Accepted:
- Injectable medications (e.g., insulin)
- Medications in pharmacy-dispensed amber vials
- Controlled substances
- Eye drops
- Over-the-counter medications (e.g., Tylenol, ibuprofen, vitamins)
Items we can’t accept can still be safely discarded using our Medication Take Back Kiosks at both pharmacy locations.
