Syringe disposal

Found a discarded syringe?

Please do not touch it. Phone us on 8408 1111 to arrange for the syringe to be removed and disposed correctly.

To prevent public health risk, it's important that medical wastes like sharps containers are not placed in the general domestic rubbish collection.

A collection bin is available at the Civic Centre for safe disposal of yellow syringe containers. Please note this collection bin is not for commercial use.

We do not stock replacement sharps containers for collection. Free sharps containers are available to collect at the locations below.
