Does anyone know how I can dispose of a sharps bin? I feel like I’ve seen this question come up recently, but I can’t find the previous thread. I have a small bin with needles from injection pens that I need to get rid of as a one-time disposal.
I noticed that West Berkshire Council offers sharps collections, but it seems to be for regular pickups, which isn’t what I’m looking for. Thanks!
You can often dispose of a sharps bin at your local pharmacy or medical center, as they usually have a disposal service for these items. Additionally, you can check if your local council has a one-off disposal option, even if it’s not advertised prominently. Some waste disposal facilities also accept sharps bins, so you could contact them to see if they can help. It might be a good idea to call ahead to confirm what they accept. If you’re still stuck, the NHS website has resources that might guide you to the right disposal options in your area.
