Empty small plastic medicine ampoules - recycling?

Does anyone use medicine in little plastic ampoules (for instance the liquid is put into a nebuliser). I have collected my empty plastic ampoules (I have two bags full) and wonder if anyone knows where I can take them to be recycled. I don’t want to just put them in the rubbish or recycling.

Why don't you ask a pharmacist. They may know what to do with them.

Thank you. I will go in to the pharmacy next week and see if they know what to do with them.
