    Do they dispose themselves? Vet we get them off doesnt take them.

    I'm sure they get all that type of waste collected and disposed of properly.

    I was thinking that lately so I brought them to my local vet, told me if the bottles were empty they can go in the wheelie bin if not empty there would be a charge for taking them off me.
    So I emptied them and into the wheelie bin:)

    And on that is there any place where you can obtain a list of the bird bia questions. I think there is a good percentage of the marks on questions. It is surely imperative that no matter how retarded the question that the correct answer is received by on Bord Bia inspecting official.

    There is only one answer you need give Bord Bia if they ask about feed purchases, animal remedies, health plans or anything livestock related......"It's all down to the rain".

    Pretty expensive to correctly dispose of empty bottles, needles and syringes.
    If greater than 10% of the product still in them it's pharmaceutical waste which is much more expensive.

    What do the chemists do when you bring back bottles to them, or the online suppliers?????
