This isn't so much a "frugalite" tip as it is a "natural" tip.
Check your local municipality's water management website, chances are they have a calendar with dates you can drop off you extra/expired medications, paints, household cleaning items, and other hazardous materials. They can properly dispose of these items for you. Please don't just dump of flush these items. They get into the sewer systems and may not get completely filtered out for your (and mine) drinking water.
Places like the "Lions Club" also have drop boxes for old glasses, hearing aids, and will retire your American flag properly. They send the glasses and hearing aids to people in needs and countries like Africa.
Check your local hospital too because they will sometimes accept unopened boxes/packages of medication to send to Africa too.
