Sharps disposal: where does yours go?

accountsDose Club staffNew member

Used needles and pens go in a sharps container, and the leaflet in your box describes this. What happens to the full bin varies from place to place: it may be the council, your GP surgery or the pharmacy that takes it, and some arrangements need a form first. Where does yours go, and what did you have to arrange?

    Your council's website is the place to check whether it offers a sharps collection and whether a form is needed first.

    If your pharmacy supplied the bin, ask whether it takes the full one back and how.
