Charnwood Borough Council

What if I find a needle or syringe?

If the needle or syringe is on Council owned land, please contact Environmental Services who will arrange to have it collected by our cleansing contractor, Serco.

Where needles are found on private land, these can be removed by our contractor but this will require a payment.

For more information on the collection of syringes, needles or other sharp instruments see our clinical waste page.
