What Is the Return Unwanted Medicines (RUM) Program?

This service may be suitable if you:

  • Have unused, unwanted, or expired medicines at home
  • Want to dispose of you safely rather than in household rubbish or down the drain

Here’s what happens during your visit:

  • Bring your unwanted or expired medicines in at any time.
  • Simply hand them to a member of our team at the counter.
  • No explanation or paperwork needed — safe disposal is arranged for you.

What to Expect

Can I bring back medicines that are no longer in their original packaging?

Yes, loose or unpackaged medicines can still be accepted for safe disposal.


Can I bring in any type of medicine?

Most prescription and over-the-counter medicines can be accepted — ask Example Pharmacy 3 if you’re unsure about a specific item.
