Most vets will recycle them for you for a fee,

How do I dispose of unused or out of date animal remedies?*
The supplier of the animal remedy, be it a veterinary practice, licensed merchant or pharmacy is required to have arrangements in place to take back from you any unused or out of date quantity of that product. You should check with the outlet concerned so that you can comply with their particular requirements (designated days etc.)
How do I dispose of empty animal medicine containers?
As individual local authorities may have differing rules on disposal, you are advised to contact your local authority.


Most vets take for free,
