Syringes

Discarded needles, syringes and other drug related items can occasionally be found in public areas such as parks or public conveniences.

These items should be treated as potentially hazardous and we advise the public not to pick up them up. Please contact the district council and we will arrange for the items to be removed. 

We do not provide a service for the disposal of ‘sharps’.

During normal office hours, please use the contact details below. At other times, please ring our emergency telephone number 0844 7703501.
