Seeking advice regarding medical waste

[Lion Spirit Walker]

Throughout my adult life I've tried as much as possible to recycle everything I could. With the changes in my life due to myself living with AIDS, this has become increasingly harder to accomplish.
Just this morning I went through the usual routine of AM meds. And as usual, there was a handfull of plastics to discard afterward. My 'living' has resulted in this unreal disproportionate amount of medical waste in the form of plastics.
Is anyone aware of any way in which such plastic waste can be recycled?
It truly is a gross amount. And any advice is sincerely appreciated.

Well unless there is liquid in the containers Michael, most foil/plastic can be recycled. I know pill bubble packs here can be...? Just a thought?

Tyvm. My aid will be making a run to the recycling center later this week, at which time I see what they might advise.
I've already check with the medical 'professionals' and they told me it all had to be discarded in a landfill.?. Sounds a bit like the same advice they give for healthcare...

I say take it to a hospital, they should already have a procedure for this.
