How to dispose of expired medicine?

I was doing a little clear out and realise I have quite a lot of medicine which has expired. How should I dispose of them properly?

  1. Burnable rubbish. You used to be able to take them back to the pharmacy but that’s not allowed any more (I’m not 100% sure why, but my husband complains about it a lot when it comes to getting rid of his excess or medicine that didn’t agree with him).

  2. Other commenters covered pills but in my experience, if it has a needle (like an epipen etc) , bring it to a doctor and say it’s expired and they should take it.

  3. My partner has to do self injections 4 times a month and she has to return them to the hospital that prescribed them to her.
