Unused or expired medications can pose significant health, safety and environmental hazard when improperly stored or disposed of. The BC Medications Return Program (BCMRP), managed by the Health Products Stewardship Association (HPSA), has been in place since 1996. This program allows the public to return (at no charge) unused or expired medications to participating pharmacies in the province.
Pharmacies wishing to register with the BC Medications Return Program can apply online.
If you have questions regarding scheduling services, please visit FAQ Pharmacists on HPSA’s webpage, by calling HPSA's toll-free number at 1-844-535-8889 or emailing info@healthsteward.ca.
The health products industries cover all costs for the program.
