nxjen Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Would one of places that operate a needle exchange service be able to help?http://www.slam.nhs.uk/about-us/clinical-academic-groups/addictions/needle-exchange/southwark Or maybe the non emergency NHS helpline 111 might be able to point you in the right direction?

Penguin68 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Try Googling 'disposal of sharps in Southwark' - that gives lots of links, including one to a form you need to fill in and get counter-signed by your surgery etc. and send off to the council for them to arrange collection.

Guest Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I know there was a bin to dispose of knives in the Sainsburys carpark next to the nursery. I don't know if it was just for knives or not.

Penguin68 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Pharmacies used to take them, but don't now, I believe. The disposal process now requires lots of forms. Rather like florescent tubes. After a knee operation (and a series of anti-clot injections) I had to take sharps (and their box) back to the hospital that issued them, for disposal.

Convex Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 yes this is the issue i have - I've been discharged from the midwives who su[plied them and just want to drop them off sonewhere, i suspect i will need to make an appt for them tp pick them up but was hoping to avoid bothering them.

Pugwash Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 No GP surgeries will not take - I was given a form to complete and send off to Southwark - have not got around to doing it yet.
