Require recycling facilities for blister packs in all dispensaries and chemists

Petition Details

I want the government to reduce the amount of blister packs going into landfill by making it possible for people to recycle their medication packaging at the outlet which dispenses it.

Additional Information

I think that by far the greatest demand for recycling is for medical blister packs. Older members of the community cannot travel to big outlets to recycle and I think the take up for recycling would be greater if we could recycle at the point of dispensing.
