Syringe disposal creates confusion for Edmontonians

Edmontonians looking to responsibly dispose of medical sharps are facing unexpected obstacles after learning that Shoppers Drug Mart has discontinued its syringe disposal program. Residents who previously relied on pharmacy drop-off services are now unsure where to turn, creating a gap in accessible waste management for people with legitimate medical needs. The change raises questions about how the city plans to ensure safe and convenient disposal options.
