Disposing of needles

[Gas1883]

I was given this container to place the needles in I’ve used for a month to stop blood clots , obviously with so much going on when I was discharged we never though how do we dispose of container & needles within .
I’ve tried to ring hospital but can’t get through , I’ve had doctors / ring council suggested to me
Has any one had to dispose of one of these containers ? Thankyou

Who gave it to you?
They probably are best place to find out where to return it to.

Pharmacies take them too.

Our local pharmacy takes our sharps bins.

My mother called the local council who arranged to collect them. Neither the local pharmacy or doctors could take them and the hospital that supplied the needles and box was an hour away.

Local council offered this service for me (South Glos)

Chemist/Doctors/hospital didn’t
