Medicine Blister Packs

Medicine blister recycling scheme is available at Superdrug pharmacies. 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 for free.

Please help us ensure the scheme runs safely:

• Do:
  
  ✅ Return waste to Superdrug pharmacy stores
  ✅ Only return personal and household blister packs
  ✅ Only return empty blister packs
• Don't:
  
  ❌ Return waste to non-pharmacy stores
  ❌ Make bulk drop offs
  ❌ Return blisters containing medication
  ❌ Return medicine packaging including bottles and aerosols
  ❌ Return cardboard packaging

WEEE recycling

At Superdrug we comply with the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, this means we offer a takeback service of electrical equipment in all of our stores. This applies to like for like items e.g. if you buy a new electric toothbrush from us, we will recycle your old one for free. You can exchange at the time of purchase or within 28 days of purchase of your new item as long as you have your receipt.

Electronic and electrical equipment are now marked with a crossed-out wheelie bin symbol as a reminder that these items can now be recycled.
