UK’s first medicine packet recycling programme
Hoping to be more green this year and recycle more? Well we’ve got great news for you! We’ve teamed up with brands Benadryl, Buscopan, Calpol, Nurofen, Imodium, Nicorette, Optrex, BuscoMint, Dulcolax, Sudafed and Allevia to include collection boxes in every Superdrug Pharmacy, so you can recycle your empty medicine blister packets.
Start collecting empty medicine blisters so the next time you are able to visit your Superdrug pharmacy, you can drop them off in the dedicated collection boxes. Start collecting your little packs now and start making a big impact!
To ensure the scheme continues to run safely…
Do:
- Only return personal and household waste
- Only return empty blister packs
Don’t:
- Make bulk drop offs (can refuse to take large bin bags of the stuff)
- Return blisters containing medication (those should be given to the dispensing chemist)
- Return medicine packaging including bottles and aerosols
- Return cardboard packaging
Superdrug are working with Terracycle.
