The pharmacy keeps it and files it away. The pharmacy has to keep it for legal reasons. They'll keep it for a set period of time at the pharmacy, and then will send it to a place to be stored.

A pharmacy has to keep script up to 5 yrs. Depending on the pharmacy they can keep longer recored but a minimum of 5yrs and at cvs they go in the stock room. They have a personal shelf just for scripts. About a yrs worth stays in the drawer in the pharmacy because a script last no longer that a year.

The pharmacy is required to retain the paper with the prescription on it for a number of years. The pharmacy files the paper and then eventually it is destroyed after a few years.
