How do I safely dispose of unwanted or expired medicines?
Return Unwanted Medicines
A national program that lets you safely dispose of unwanted or expired medicines at any participating pharmacy, rather than putting them in household rubbish or down the drain.
It’s safe, straightforward disposal that helps prevent accidental poisoning or misuse at home.

This service may be suitable if you:
- Have unused, unwanted, or expired medicines at home
- Want to dispose of you safely rather than in household rubbish or down the drain

Here’s what happens during your visit:
- Bring your unwanted or expired medicines in at any time.
- Simply hand them to a member of our team at the counter.
- No explanation or paperwork needed — safe disposal is arranged for you.
What to Expect
Can I bring back medicines that are no longer in their original packaging?
Yes, loose or unpackaged medicines can still be accepted for safe disposal.
Can I bring in any type of medicine?
Most prescription and over-the-counter medicines can be accepted — ask Blakes Pharmacy if you’re unsure about a specific item.
