The Medicine Packet Recycling Programme

There are 2 different ways to participate in this programme:

1) Drop off your empty medicine blister packets at your nearest public drop-off location

Find your nearest participating Superdrug pharmacy or local pharmacy on the interactive map above and drop off your empty medicine blister packets during their opening hours.

2) For registered pharmacies only: Set up a public drop-off location at your pharmacy

If there are no public drop-off locations nearby, registered UK pharmacies can apply to be added to the public drop-off location map above by following these steps:

1. Create a TerraCycle® account
2. Make sure you are authorised by the person responsible of the pharmacy to open a public drop-off location at your chosen address.
3. Fill out this form to request to join the programme as a public drop-off location administrator.

Once your pharmacy has been confirmed as a member of the programme (by setting up a public drop-off location) and when you are ready to send a parcel, please follow these steps:

1. Empty the contents of your collection box into a cardboard box suitable for transit and pack securely. (Please make sure you use a sturdy cardboard box which is no larger than 60x60x50cm in size.)
2. Download a free UPS label from your account
3. Print your label out
4. Attach your label to your parcel.
5. ​Simply book a free pick-up via UPS by calling 03457 877 877 or book online via this link. Alternatively, you can also drop off your parcel at your closest UPS drop-off point, which you can find here.

Important: Please do not use your branded collection box to return your collected waste to us, this is provided for collection purposes only.
