Sharps Disposal News - Update

If you're a resident of Sandwell you can ask for collection of sharps bins by contacting the Sharps Collection Service at the Hospital Transport Department (0121 507 3869, option 5) and asking for clinical waste collection. They will then arrange collection but you will need to provide the first bin available on prescription from your GP. They will then leave you a replacement. You may request either a one-litre or a five-litre bin. You will need to contact them each time you need collection and replacement.
