Medicines Disposal
Don’t Bin It, Return It
Putting unwanted medicines in the household bin or flushing them down the toilet can harm the environment and pose a risk to others. Our pharmacies can safely dispose of medication free of charge.

How it works
You can return any unused or expired medication to our pharmacies for safe, clinical disposal. This is a free service available to everyone in our community.
What we can accept
We can accept household medicines waste in the following forms:
- Pills, tablets, and capsules.
- Liquids and creams.
- Controlled Drugs (please inform us if you are bringing CDs as these require specialist disposal).
- Over-the-counter remedies
- Inhalers
Note: We cannot accept needles/sharps in our standard medicine bins. Please see our dedicated Sharps Disposal Page for more information on how to dispose of needles safely.
