Can I donate unused Manual PD supplies?

My husband was on Manual PD for two months, then was switched to using an overnight cycler a few months ago. I have 15 boxes of Manual PD bags--the supplier won't take them back, the dialysis clinic said to just open the bags and pour them down the toilet. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately no. You have to get rid of them. I just got rid of 30 boxes for cycler and 10 manuals.
