Same here I don't want 'Bio Hazard' boxes in my house... The whole sharps bin process is preposterously complicated and I can't be bothered with it.

I completely agree.

Still haven't found anywhere to take my sharps. I was diagnosed in May and I now have four full sharps bins. My GP refused saying they don't have a licence, my DSN wrote to my GP asking them to advise what to do and I basically got the most ridiculous copy & paste nonsensical letter from my GP yesterday, including how midwives should not accept sharps. I am not pregnant, I do not need to know this!
The letter says 'we don't have an answer' basically & take them to your hospital. The hospital refuse to take them too.
I'm going to ask my DSn how to escalate and make a complaint.

A strange reply from your gp.

Wonder what they do with their own sharps if they don't have a licence, or are they saying that they don't have a licence to take patients sharps bins? Either way do get in touch with your DSN and if necessary ask your Consultant to intervene in this matter, there's no way you should be left with 4 full sharp bins that you can't get rid of.
