WHAT YOU CAN RECYCLE

Use this Zero Waste Box to recycle:

• Any brand of empty medicine blister packs

Important information:

• We cannot accept medicine and medication residue. Boxes received that contain tablets will need to be diverted to Energy from Waste (and therefore may not be recycled).
  
• Blister packs must not have originally been destined for disposal as clinical or hazardous waste.
• Blister packs must not have come into contact with biological contaminants e.g. from within an operating or treatment environment.

Do not send in:

• Any medicine and medication residue including tablets, pills, lozenges and caplets as medicine should be returned to a pharmacy for safe disposal.
• Cardboard, paper and any other types of waste other than empty medicine blister packs.
• Any other medicine containers such as bottles, inhalers or sprays.
• Hazardous waste (for example sharp, flammable, reactive, corrosive, ignitable, toxic, infectious or pathogenic) which presents a danger to the environment, or to people. Batteries, pressurised canisters, broken glass and medical waste.
