Alternative Recycling

Each year, the Alternative Recycling Program at MedWish repurposes thousands of supplies that are expired or no longer fit for medical use.

MedWish partners with animal shelters, schools, and other local agencies to repurpose these supplies in creative ways. These supplies are available at no cost to nonprofit organizations.
