Syringe Disposal Service

It is vital that all medical waste is discarded in a correct and safe manner. This will prevent any injury towards you, and also to other members of the community.

Needles and syringes are to be put into approved sharps containers only and not into general waste bins. You can use one of the sharps containers located within the Shire or alternatively, collect free sharps containers from Council Offices.

Visit the Department of Health website to read about the Needle and Syringe Service.

If you find a needle, call the Victorian Needle and Syringe Disposal Helpline on 1800 552 355 to have it removed or for advice on how to remove it yourself.

If you require Council to safely dispose of a found needle, please provide a precise location to 03 5593 7100.
