We have received reports that discarded syringes have been found within the Kelvindale area. Hopefully this is an isolated incident. In the good old days chemists used to keep “sharps boxes” where these items could be taken, but this no longer applies. You need to ring the Environmental Health Dept on 0300 343 7027 who will arrange collection of the items. They only collect items which are in public areas. As always, do not take any risks handling syringes of any type, and please do not dispose of them in any domestic, recycling, street or commercial waste bin.
