What to do after a reservation?

Go check if you have made the reservation successfully through ‘My Reservation’ (我的预约) on the program after 21:00 that very day.

After a successful reservation, bring your expired medicine (no limit on quantity) and valid ID to the chosen pharmacy and receive a GPHL gift package for free.

Guangzhou is making an all-out effort to promote garbage classification across the city. Expired medications are classified as hazardous waste which can not be casually disposed of. By launching the campaign on ‘Suikang’, GPHL hopes to engage more people to take part in the recycling of expired drugs, said Li Chuyuan, chairman of GPHL.
