Safe Disposal of Household Medical Waste in Hungary
Safe, separate disposal of old medicine and other household medical waste usually happens by district in Budapest twice a year around Earth Day (April 22) and World Car Free Day (September 22). Districts also sometimes offer the option during the annual big trash day (lomtalalnitas). However, the law says that all pharmacies must take back expired medicines (should be a collection box), and some MOL gas stations also offer this option.
