Whats the procedures for yellow sharps and waste ?

Whats the procedure please

[GAZ]

I think it depends on your PCT - so if you're not sure contact them for advice/clarification

[El-loco]

Patients must not return sharps to a pharmacy for disposal via the yellow bins nor should district nurses or surgeries.

Anyone needing to dispose of sharps should contact the refuse department of their local council.

Pharmacies are seen as convenient dumping grounds by the public. If you operate needex, then will have large yellow bins that can be used.

It all depends on the PCT - some PCT have arrangements in place so the "full" 1L sharpsbins can be returned via the pharmacy - other PCT's have arrangements where the "full" containers are collected by the local council, environmental health.
