Hi to all,

I was told when my sharps bin was full it was to be collected by council so I phoned up friday for the above and was told to take it to the doctors wish
They would make their mind up lol.
Anyone any advise please.

The process seems to vary from place to place.
 
It depends on where you live! For example neither my local council or my doctors take mine! I have to do a 10 mile round trip to drop mine off at the nearest chemist that will take them!!! If your GP doesn't take them, thete should be a local chemist that does, ig not Boots does but its worth phoning first!
 
Hi Mrs Puddleduck,

Thankyou for the info will phone first.
