Syringe disposal

Winchester City Council strives to protect members of the community from health and safety hazards, such as discarded syringes and hypodermic needles. Under no circumstances should such items be removed by members of the public.

The city council has officers trained to dispose of needles and syringes both swiftly and safely from areas such as playgrounds, council estates and parks. Any needles found on education premises during working hours should be reported to the premises directly, where staff on site are trained to deal with the situation.
