BLISTER PACK RECYCLING AT THE PRACTICE
Posted on:
In 2023 we secured temporary funding for a blister pack recycling box behind reception. We are offering this service to encourage everyone to recycle empty medication packs and avoid them going into landfill. (By empty medication packs we meant the small plastic containers that contain your pills).
Start collecting empty medicine blister packs so the next time you are able to visit The Practice, you can drop them off in the dedicated collection boxes behind reception FOR FREE.
Start collecting your little packs now and start making a big impact!
To ensure the scheme runs safely…
- Only return empty blister packs
- Don’t return blisters packs containing medication
- Don’t return medicine packaging including bottles and aerosols or inhalers
- Don’t return cardboard packaging (this can go in your household recycling)
Non-urgent advice:
If you would like to recycle inhalers Hornsey Road Pharmacy can recycle these for you. https://www.nhs.uk/services/pharmacy/hornsey-road-pharmacy/FVQ29
