Hi lovely neighbours- following a hospital stay I had to have injections.

Needles have now been safely placed in a locked bin.


- The council doesn't want them at the moment due to covid

- Pharmacies that I have tried dont want/take them


Does anyone know where I can dispose of them safely please?


Next step is to contact the hospital again but they originally mentioned council.


Thank you,

Smiley

I have had my sharps bin collected during covid through the council. As far as I know, that is the only option.


The Southwark website says that they will collect if it is "needed urgently".

You will need your GP to fill out the form on this page and you should then be able to get them collected:

What previous poster has said, GP to give you a form to send to Southwark, it will ask whether you want a regular collection of if it is a one off. It come under clinical waste.

    • Pleased to hear the EDT has good food! It has been very variable in the past. I didn't realise the Palmerston had a restaurant on one side? Do you mean the small room at the back near the toilets? All the rest is one big room, isn't it? Which part of the EDT is now the restaurant? The back room on  the right as you face the pub? Also, I saw they had a sign to an upstairs lounge bar. I have deja vu. Wasn't it a lounge bar circa 2008, albeit the public access was  from the separate door on the street?  I assume they are now using the indoor stairs? Memo to self:  Go in and check all this out for yourself 🤣 I really miss the huge painting of a dancer (?)  that used to be in the EDT before they (understandably)  removed it to put in more windows and hence make the room lighter. Does anybody know what happened to it? I so hope someone is enjoying it somewhere, and that it wasn't just destroyed.
    • I’ve emailed and left messages for the parks people, but no response. I hope my email to the elected officials will prove to be effective.   
    • Im well aware of the The Castle (which i like) and The Hill (not so much). Neither do cheap food, or in fact any food at all apart from crisps. The Royal Legion Club is not a pub but a members club in what looks like a house from the outside, with a bar. I doubt they do food either, but 'you're welcome' to correct me on that.  Also anyone suggesting the Fox on the Hill, in Camberwell, i would suggest its better staying away. The place was an absolute shambles the other Sunday when it was sunny. The bar staff genuinely knew nothing about working behind a bar or even pouring a pint. It would have been amusing if we didnt have to wait 25 minutes for a drink. And thats without joining the ridiculous queue that muppets form around the pub. There were a lot of pissed off people in the pub and garden, and plates and plates of food just left on the side of the bar where people had given up receiving it having waited over an hour for it, and presumably initiated a chargeback via their bank.  
    • Went to the EDT last night for their 50% off menu launch and it was delicious! Their starters were excellent - we had the aubergine & the Korean chicken, highly recommend 🤩 it’s definitely more on the pricier side now food-wise,  but has a lovely vibe still as a pub one side and then a restaurant the other side (similar to The Palmerston). Looking forward to going back ☺️
