Unwanted Medicines
It is common for households to accumulate expired, unused, or unwanted medicines over time. Keeping medicines that are no longer needed can create unnecessary risks and should be avoided. Safe disposal helps protect your family, the community, and the environment. Supporting our local community with safe, responsible, and environmentally friendly medicine disposal services.
It is important to regularly check your medicine cabinet and remove any medicines that are out of date or no longer required.
Medicines should never be disposed of in household waste bins, sinks, toilets, or drains, as they can harm the environment and potentially pose risks to others.
