Important Notice about Patient Returned Sharps Boxes
We are aware of the current difficulties being experienced by some patients when trying to dispose of their sharps boxes and of the impact that this is having.
The list below details the community pharmacies that are providing the sharps service. In addition, from 6th January 2025, sharps boxes can be obtained and disposed of at several NHS sites across Lothian. The details have been added below.
Please note – Sharps bins must not be overfilled and must be sealed, otherwise the pharmacy / service cannot accept the bin. Please also ensure that your details (including CHI number) are on the bin.
