Where do you throw the packaging after medicine? Poles have an eternal problem with this

Garbage segregation is very important, most of us know perfectly well where to throw out plastic bottles or cartons, yet when we have to get rid of packaging after medicine, it can be a bit more difficult. However, in many cases it is enough to remember a few rules and we will not have Zagwozdki, where, for example, syrup bottles should land.

Drugs, depending on the type, are packed into different packages, often contain elements that need to be thrown to at least two different baskets. When organizing a home first aid kit and throwing a pack, it is worth remembering that they should be included in the following containers:

• Blue – There should be all cardboard boxes and leaflets that are attached to medicines.
• Yellow – It is this container that we throw all plastic and metal elements, such as plastic syrups bottles and tubes after ointments and creams.
• Green – It is a glass container, we throw out glass bottles into it (without nuts, they should be placed in a yellow container) and ampoules, because they are also made of glass.
• Black – We place mixed waste in this container, in the case of medicines it will be tablets blisters.

By following these rules, drug packaging will be well utilized. Plastic will be able to get into recycling.
