What can I do with unused contraceptives?

I wasn't sure where to put this.

Basically, I've been having a clean out and found a big packet of Durex condoms. DP doesn't like that brand and I want to get rid but does anyone know if they go to a clinic or something rather than just binning them? They're in date.

I work in a Pharmacy. The trouble is that the recipient can’t guarantee the condition of them, even though they are in date. I know YOU know they are ok, but I very much doubt a clinic could use them. In the pharmacy we would bin them if handed in.

Personally I’d leave them in the toilets at a local college or pub. Wink

Put them over your taps and fill with limescale remover. Smile

Cleans right inside.

@paem that's brilliant! Just need to remember to remove them when someone comes over 😂

Leave in a pub bathroom? Or better still outside any sixth form college

That's what I was thinking, they probably wouldn't take them as they couldn't guarantee they'd not been damaged somehow. The taps idea is interesting, I could just see me flooding the bathroom though, or my dad coming round and seeing it haha.

There's no colleges nearby, but I might try in a pub. Thanks.
