Summary: «Household Medical Waste Disposal Policy in Israel»

Households accumulate a large amount of expired and unused medicines. This potentially puts the population at risk through uncontrolled drug use. Most of the expired or unused medicines that accumulate in households (household medical waste) are thrown into the trash or flushed down the drain, potentially contaminating wastewater, water resources and even drinking water. There is evidence that pharmaceutical active ingredients are released into the environment, including food, but the public health risk from low levels of environmental exposure to pharmaceuticals is currently unknown. There is no legislation in Israel regarding the collection and disposal of household medical waste. In addition, only less than 14% of Israelis return unused medicines to pharmacies, according to the Health Organization.
