Used needles can be dangerous to other people if they are left on the ground or thrown away with other household rubbish.
Make sure you dispose of your needles carefully, using the sharps box you will have been given by your doctor or health visitor.
If you find a needle on the street, please tell your local district council. Find my local district council.
