REcycle

Return your unwanted or expired medicines (human and pet) to your local pharmacy for safe disposal in a secure bin. It’s potentially harmful to you, your family and even your pets to keep expired or unwanted medicines in the house. It may result in accidental poisoning, or be confused with other medications, especially by children or older people. Throwing them in the bin or flushing them down the toilet can contaminate the environment. This is a free service.
