It varies depending on which part of the world you live.

I would start off by looking up your local council's web site for clinical waste disposal. My council will swap full boxes for empty ones. Failing that, go to a friendly local pharmacy (while they still exist) and ask them.

You can take it along to your GPor your local pharmancy but the way that you can dispose of sharps in changing. You can check with your local counil as they are taking over the safe disposal of sharps and bio-hazzard bags. You will be given a phone number and can then arrange for a day when it can be collected. If you're going too be out then you can arrange a safe place where your box can be stored eg inside the meter cupboard.
