How you dispose of your sharps bin depends on where you live, as it will be taken care of by your local council. The first step you should take is to find the website for your local council using the Government postcode finder. From there you'll be able to find out how your council arrange to collect and dispose of sharps containers and whether or not they charge for the service.
