If you see any hypodermic needles (sharps and syringes) please ring
us immediately to report them. For your own safety please
don't attempt to remove them or dispose of them in any bin as
it's extremely dangerous and not acceptable. We aim to
respond the same day.

We're responsible for the collection and safe disposal of
hypodermic needles (sharps and syringes) and other drugs paraphernalia that have
been discarded on local authority land or other areas that are
defined as open to the public.
We make a nominal charge for removing hypodermic needles and syringes from
private land.
