Information for the Public

Saskatchewan has a formal province-wide program for the disposal of household pharmaceutical waste. The Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal program allows consumers to return pharmaceuticals to the majority of the province’s community pharmacies for safe disposal. It is an initiative of the Saskatchewan College of Pharmacists (SCP). Under this program, pharmacies have to pay for the pick up of the pharmaceutical waste.

For more information on medications and their disposal, talk to your pharmacist.
