safely disposing of inhalers

is there a correct way in which i should dispose my empty inhalers? should i take them to the doctors and ask them to dispose of them, or is it ok to just chuck them in the bin?

Thanks

I must be honest, ive wondered if they could be recycled myself.

When we first got blue bins for recycling, the booklet put through gave a list of acceptable items.

Cant remember entire list, but it said recycle empty deodorant canisters. So i put empty inhaler can in.

After 6 moths, they sent letters round saying empty plastic milk or pop bottles only, so now i put empties in bin.

Is there a correct way to dispose of them?

Disposing inhalers!

I think you can recyle but make sure that we can>

I jsut dump mine in the bin.

We should be able to reclye the inhalers!

i just take mine to boots when i have a collection of them, they take back unwanted medicines etc for safe disposal, so i guess they can take them too. They've never complained!!
