I have just popped into Superdrug and they take back / recycle blister packs of medication. And a reminder they also dispose of expired / unused medicine. Please remove identity labels. You can check if your local store does this: healthunlocked.com/api/redi... (thanks Helvella for the link.)
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Edit: ALLL pharmacies take in old/expired/unwanted meds EXCEPT sharps. Not just Superdrug.

Hello Helvella, on the Terracycle website you can pin point your area and which pharmacies take the blister packs. Superdrug is the only one that I know of that takes them in all branches.
As for old/expired/unwanted tablets/ capsules etc. All pharmacies take them. They do not take sharps.
Thank you! I emailed them and they replied yes 🙄 I also asked at my second to local store same reply and that pharmacist has been there for at least 12 years. I’ll amend my post. Thank you Helvella. Saved the day again. 🤗
Thanks for the information.I looked on the map and there is nothing between Worthing and Bognor unfortunately. But I will start saving and when we are allowed to go out by government...not to mention nervous husband...I’ll be able to donate my used packs.
That’s a shame but all about solutions! I was going to post mine in as I’m self isolating. But I had to pop out for a hospital appointment. And luckily the bus stopped in front of a Superdrug. I do worry I’m OTT with my recycling.
