Where To Return Unwanted Medicines
RUM bins are found in nearly all PBS approved community pharmacies across Australia. Medicines can be returned to any participating community pharmacy for safe disposal, regardless of the purchase location.
Prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, herbal or complementary supplements, gels, liquids, or topical creams can be returned to community pharmacy to be disposed of in the RUM bin.
Any medicines that you might have had for your pets can also be returned to the pharmacy to be disposed in the RUM bin. Sharps or needles cannot be put in RUM bins. Talk to your pharmacist about the appropriate way to dispose of these items. See a more comprehensive list here.
