Sterilised Needles

[robbo82]

We recently moved into a house, and have just found some unused sterilised needles behind one of the wardrobes (the house is rented and part-furnished). I know you're not supposed to throw these in the bin, so what do we do with them? Take them to the GPs?

I agree - you should take them to your local doctor/dentist/hospital and they will dispose of them in the sharps box, and will be incinerated along with any other clinical waste.

Or if you phone your local Council and speak to the refuse department they will probably have a procedure in place to come and collect them if you are concerned.

[ronnie963]

your local chemist should be able to dispose of them for you

Just tape inside an old sardine tin or what ever and sling em in the bin. If they were used I would of advised not to even touch them but as they are unused a bit of common sense when disposing will be good enough.
