SHARPS CONTAINERS
Unfortunately, the surgery is no longer able to accept sharps boxes from patients due to changes in our clinical waste management arrangements.
Used sharps containers are classified as hazardous clinical waste and must be handled, stored, and disposed of in accordance with strict waste management regulations. For this reason, we are unable to accept them at the practice.
We have contacted East Suffolk Council who have advised that there are 4 pharmacies that will take home sharps boxes, these are:
Aldeburgh Pharmacy
125 High Street
Aldeburgh
IP15 5AR
Beccles HCC Ltd
Beccles and District War Memorial
Beccles
NR34 9NQ
Framlingham Pharmacy
31 Market Hill
Framlingham
IP13 9AY
Saxmundham Pharmacy
High Street
Saxmundham
IP17 1DF
If any places are unsuitable, please make direct contact with East Suffolk Council Customer Services on 0333 0162000 and they will place your name on a list to have these collected.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
