[QUOTE="WilliamIrvine, post: 360305, member: 62905"] That was what was annoying me so much. I have found out that it varies from area to area and more so in Scotland. Greater Glasgow and Clyde apparently will only provide me with a 1 litre sharpsafe box which I have to take to a Needle Exchange to renew. I have refused this because no matter how much I protest there will always be that stigma. Cutting a long story short my local pharmacy which is a 5 min walk has agreed to take and dispose of the box for me. I have been doiing the "tin can" method for years and only recently found out about the sharps bins. It is shocking that there isn't a more standard way to deal with needles etc [/QUOTE]
