This must never be discarded at any HWRC or in domestic waste bins. This includes medicines, liquids, pills or injections. Also sharps bins and needles which are no longer required, whether used, unused, packaged or loose.
Medicines
- If they are unwanted or out-of-date, take them to any community pharmacy.
Sharps
- If issued by a hospital, take them to the:
- Hospital clinic or ward. (Always use this option for purple-lidded sharps bins.)
- Central or commercial pharmacies at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary or Calderdale Royal Hospital.
- If given to you by your Doctor, take them back to your Doctor's surgery.
Please note: You can also ask us to collect them from your home for free:
