How do you dispose of the sharps accumulated from vaccinations and the like? My vet surgery wasn’t keen to take them.
-
ask nicely at Chemist or Gp surgery or local drug users drop in center or last resort buy one on line. Disposal is in the surgery's yellow bin, well thats what I do with my bio haz waste and the last lot of sharps we had.

I bought a yellow sharps bin from my surgery. The price, can't remember exactly, but about £12, that includes disposal when it's full but at the rate I am going will be about 25 yeas :-)

For years I just used a jam jar for the needles and palmed it off on the vet when full. I now have a plastic yellow thing which may see me out.

I tried to palm mine off on a diabetic friend, until he pointed out that he doesn't use many 1" long 19G needles ;D .
