As a professional organizer and former medical assistant, I believe that staying on top of what’s in the medicine cabinet is an important task to help declutter my house and keep my family safe.  I actually don’t even use the bathroom medicine cabinet at all because of temperature fluctuations from showers and because I want to keep medications up high, out of the reach of children.  So, I store my medications in a clear, plastic bin at the top of my linen closet.  Follow these tips to declutter your house and tackle your stored medications.

•    Look at all the expiration dates and get rid of all expired medications.•    Part with all partially used bottles of antibiotics.•    Part with old prescriptions you don’t use anymore.•    Find a local pharmacy that will dispose of medications for you, do not flush them down the toilet, keep the water supply safe.

It’s worth the money to pay for a new prescription, don’t take any chances with your health using old or expired medications!
