Closed Require recycling facilities for blister packs in all dispensaries and chemists

Closed on

I want the government to reduce the amount of blister packs going into landfill by making it possible for people to recycle their medication packaging at the outlet which dispenses it.

I think that by far the greatest demand for recycling is for medical blister packs. Older members of the community cannot travel to big outlets to recycle and I think the take up for recycling would be greater if we could recycle at the point of dispensing.
