Flushing medicines, pouring them down the sink or disposing of them via landfill (black bin) poses a risk to the environment.
We encourage our clients to bring back unused medication to us for safe disposal ( and even better if you can return them during your pet’s appointments rather than making an additional trip- each step helping to save our environment and improve sustainability).
The RCVS video below from our 2022 Antibiotic Amnesty gives even more details on the importance of safe medication disposal.
