Disposal of old medicines

According to the NZ government MEDSAFE website:

'Do not keep old medicines because you think you may need them in the future. Return unused medicines you have been prescribed, or medicines past their expiry date, to your pharmacist for safe disposal. Do not throw medicines in the rubbish or flush them down the toilet.'


Please note that I have found information on local council websites (not Hamilton City Council) which clearly instruct people to either throw medicines in the rubbish or flush them down the toilet - DO NOT DO THIS!
