Who is HPSA

The Health Products Stewardship Association (HPSA) operates free take back programs for the safe disposal of unwanted medications and used medical sharps in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick , Quebec and Prince Edward Island. In addition to helping producers fulfill their stewardship obligations, we help collection locations implement these programs and educate consumers on how to practice safe disposal to strengthen ties across communities and the industry.
