[Michlib-l] Disposing of Expired Unopen COVID Tests - MDHHS

[Anna Merritt]

Hello All,

It has been tough trying to get an answer as to what to do with unopened, expired COVID Test kits. I finally heard back from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and they said:

Good Morning,


I am reaching out in regards to your inquiry about COVID test disposal. Expired OTC test kits can be disposed of in a normal trash, much like a candy wrapper etc.

If you have any other questions regarding testing or receiving more OTC tests please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Thank you!

In Health,
