Pharmaceuticals and Medical Sharps Disposal

The Health Products Stewardship Association (HPSA) operates free take back programs for the safe disposal of unwanted medications and used medical sharps. Programs are offered across the province and are free to the public.

For information about how to return unwanted medications refer to the HPSA webpage "Returning Medications".

For information about how to return used medical sharps refer to the HPSA webpage "Returning Medical Sharps".

Most pharmacies are set up to accept your unwanted medications and used medical sharps, but calling ahead to your pharmacy to get details may be helpful.
