This Earth Day, take your recycling to the next level. Sort through your drawers and cupboards and see how many of these seven unique items you can collect and keep from landfill.



Styrofoam - London Drugs is Canada’s only major retailer to offer packaging return and recycling, on anything they sell. The Bring Back the Pack program includes Styrofoam, (from items bought at London Drugs) which is not accepted as part of most municipal recycling programs.
Smoke Alarms – Smashed it one too many times while burning the bacon? Bring it in and we’ll recycle it.
Non-Rechargeable Batteries - Alkaline batteries are recyclable too. We have them sent to Inmetco, in Pennsylvania, USA, where they use a High Temperature Metals Recovery Process (HTMR) to obtain an overall material recovery rate of 83%. Metals recovered include Iron, Nickel, Manganese, Copper, and Zinc. Ni-CAD, Ni-MH and Ni-Zn rechargeable batteries are also processed at Inmetco.
Old Plastic Insurance Folders – Don’t leave expired documents in your car! Shred your old insurance papers and bring the plastic to us. London Drugs also accepts all soft plastic bags, (except biodegradable bags).
Fluorescent Light Bulbs - Bring back Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) Bulbs and Fluorescent Light (FL) Tubes up to 4-foot lengths, to London Drugs for safe, responsible recycling. Simply wrap old bulbs carefully in a plastic bag (a box is even better) and drop them off at the Customer Service Counter.
Waffle Maker – Need a new small appliance? Bring in your old one at the same time. Any dead small appliance with a plug can be recycled at London Drugs through the Small Appliance recycling program. All electronic products are responsibly disassembled to basic materials right here in Canada. London Drugs works diligently to ensure that recyclables are shipped to responsible recycling facilities.
VHS Tapes - London Drugs offers customers drop-off recycling for virtually all recordable media or media storage devices, when customers are making similar purchases in our stores. (Maximum 16 items at a time, please)
