Mix unused doxycycline capsules with an undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds or cat litter. Seal the mixture in a sturdy, sealed plastic bag. Discard the bag in your household trash. Alternatively, check with your local pharmacy or waste disposal service for specific medication take-back programs in your area.
