Dispose of Unused Medicines Properly (DUMP)

DUMP - 4th September to 15th October 2023

The DUMP campaign allows everyone to bring unused or out-of-date medicines to participating pharmacies to make sure they are disposed of properly. These medicines shouldn’t be put in the bin or flushed away as this poses a danger to children, pets, the environment and our water systems.

The scheme is organised by Cork Kerry Community Healthcare and supported by Cork City Council, Cork County Council and Kerry County Council.

Please see HERE for a list of Cork city’s participating pharmacies.
