Please do not include:
❌ Blister packs still containing medicines, including tablets, capsules, caplets or lozenges.

What happens to your blister pack satchel?

‍Once received at our recycling facility, the satchels are checked and emptied, with the blister packs sorted and processed to recover their plastic and aluminium components. Learn more
The empty satchels are consolidated and sent to our recycling partner, Plastic Forests Pty Ltd, where the plastic is recycled into products such as wheel stops, fence posts and garden edging.
