What happens to old pills that are past their expiration date? Do you have to send them to some facility so they know nothing illegal happens to them?

Depends. Controlled substances, especially narcotics, would have to be kept, a DEA form filled out, and then held until someone can pick them up.

As for noncontrolled drugs, I guess it depends. Some pharmacies can set up a system to send it back to their supplier to recoup some of the costs. It's so rare for a drug to expire on us, though, because most pharmacies have systems in place that automatically order drugs as they get used up.
