Return of Unwanted Medicines (RUM)

• What is RUM?

RUM is short for Return of Unwanted Medicines, a government initiative1 making it easy to collect and dispose of unwanted medicines in the community. Unwanted medicines refers to any medicine you have bought or been prescribed which you no longer need. Out-of-date medicines should also be returned for disposal.

• What medicines can I return to the pharmacy?

You can dispose of the following types of medications in the RUM bin:

Prescription medications
Over-the-counter medicines
Herbal or complementary supplements
Gels, liquids, and topical creams
Pet medications are also accepted.
Please note, sharps (needles and syringes) cannot be put in RUM bins. Talk to your Pharmacist about the appropriate way to dispose of these items.

• What can be placed into a RUM bin?
“Sharps” (needles and syringes)
Pet medicines
Methadone takeaway doses
Insulin pens - Insulin pens and vials can be placed in the RUM bin. All packaging must be removed before putting into the RUM bin. RUM has been advised by Diabetes Australia that empty insulin pens can be placed safely in the household’s general waste.
Epipens
Panadeine Forte

• Why is it necessary to collect unwanted medicines?

Evidence over many years confirms that medicines stored in the home can be the source of poisonings of children, and of confusion with aged patients. Accident and Emergency departments of major hospitals report alarming rates of poisonings of children due to household poisons (one in four admissions).

Aged patients are often confused by the variety of medicines previously prescribed and then superseded by subsequent medicines. Medicines, and chemicals in general, can contaminate the environment when discarded via landfill sites and sewerage facilities.

• Why is safe disposal of medicines necessary?

Most people throw away medicines or flush them down the toilet. This can have a harmful impact on the environment including our waterways. Bringing them to your local TerryWhite Chemmart for disposal is the best way to dispose of unwanted medicines.

• Will my returned medicines be recycled or reused?

No. Returned medicines are not recycled or reused by the pharmacy at any time. This is prevented by the best practice procedures and in some jurisdictions by legislation.

• How are medications disposed of?

Returned medicines are disposed of by high temperature incineration. The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has approved this process.

In partnership with Sanofi, and funded by the Commonwealth Government through the Department of Health, TerryWhite Chemmart is able to offer this free service in its pharmacies.

Disposing of unwanted medicines incorrectly can harm the environment
Spring clean your medicine cupboard and safely dispose of unwanted or out-of-date medication you have at home. Simply bring your unwanted medicines to any TerryWhite Chemmart pharmacy and give them to a team member.

Ask your TerryWhite Chemmart Balaklava Pharmacist in-store to find out more.
