One of our local pharmacist shops - part of a national chain offers recycling of the blister packs many tablets come in nowadays. Ostensibly, it's a great idea but I'm wondering if it's just a token gesture? For a start, the box in the shop has a tiny slot for posting your used blister packs into. Recently, they've added signs banning bulk drop-offs and stressing that you can only recycle your own packs. It's almost as if they don't want the scheme to be too successful! You'd think they'd be delighted to welcome the output of local Care Homes, etc. The slot provided is even too small and fiddly for my personal pharmaceutical debris - although I do produce a lot. I'm wondering if the scrap value of these packs is just too low and if it's more about being seen to do the right thing?
