And if it goes to the dump it may still leach into the water table. It's a serious concern to do safe drug disposal.

And according to my personal belief system the expiration dates are mostly bullshit. It's a CYA move to protect the company from side effect or adverse reactions. They are not responsible after a year.
Outside of insulin, right now, I can't, off the top of my head, think of much that really expires.
