Does anyone know where I can dispose of a number of uncut drainable bags. I don't want to just bin them if they can be used elsewhere. Thanks

They will accept all new supplies. I've mailed unused supplies to them several times as a result of having to change type of supplies.

I just wanted to take the time to wish everyone a good holiday. I especially would like to thank this website and the folks that run it and keep it going. This site has been a life saver for me and I am so thankful I found it. I hope everyone has a great Christmas and Hanukka and if you don't claim either holiday, I hope you have a nice day. See you all next year!

Most ostomy nurses will take them to use for their clients who may not have the money/ insurance to afford their supplies.

A convex ostomy skin barrier can help prevent output leakage and skin issues. Unfortunately, some misconceptions about convexity may keep people with ostomies from using it.

Hi see your from the UK, here's a UK charity you can send them to have to pay the postage though.... If you have an IA group near you they accept them and pass them on and saves on having to pay postage.
