Does anyone know how to properly dispose of a sharps bin? I feel like this question has come up recently, but I can’t seem to locate the previous thread. It’s a small bin containing needles from injection pens that I need to dispose of just this once.
I noticed West Berkshire Council offers sharps collections, but that seems to be for regular pickups, which isn’t what I need. Thanks!
You can usually dispose of a sharps bin at designated locations like your local pharmacy or health clinic, as they often accept them for safe disposal. Another option is to check if there are any local waste disposal facilities or community health centers that offer one-off drop-off services for sharps. If you’re in West Berkshire, it might be worth calling your local council to see if they can recommend a nearby location for one-time disposal. Alternatively, you could reach out to your healthcare provider for guidance on the best way to dispose of your sharps bin.
