Sharps disposal bins

Community sharps are needles, syringes and lancets that are used to administer medications and drugs outside a clinical setting. We need to dispose of sharps safely to prevent needlestick injury in our public places, at home and for workers who remove waste or clean facilities. Sharps are to be treated as clinical waste, like they would be in a hospital. Use our map to find a safe disposal location or call the Needle Clean-Up Hotline to report used syringes in public places on 1800 633 353. View the interactive map More information on sharps bins
