My local council collects mine directly from my house. It's a FREE service they do.

Thanks I didn’t know that 😊

You need to get in touch with your council who have contracts with collection companies to recycle.

[Doeyditdot in reply to Star13]

Fab thank you 😊

I too am fortunate that my local council does a sharp's collection. I go on line and book it and they collect and leave me a replacement. I think it’s a brilliant service.

[Doeyditdot in reply to Frenchbetty]

Well I will try my council first thanks for the reply 😊

My council (Adur) has recently stopped this service ☹️ unless you have a GPs prescription. Not good.

[Doeyditdot in reply to Brightonbutterfly]

Oh that’s a shame 🤦‍♀️

My council no longer collects. They have an arrangement with local pharmacies who take them.

[Doeyditdot in reply to Orchard33]

Thanks for replying 😊

Thank you 😊

[Doeyditdot in reply to HeartyGilly]

Thanks I’ll try that 😊

I googled this for where to take mine, and discovered that my local pharmacy will accept it.

[Doeyditdot in reply to grumpyold]

Thank you 😊

Your local hospital might take pity on you and take it. They might even give you another!

[Doeyditdot in reply to FlipperTD]

thank you 😊

I got mine from the local drug addict centre plus a "travel size" one. I got my son to pick them up!!
