If you need to use needles or sharps bin while travelling, it’s important to dispose of them safely. Here’s how to do it:

1. Check with Your Accommodation

Ask your hotel or accommodation if they provide a sharps bin for safe disposal. Some places may have one available.

2. Use a Hard Plastic Bottle

If you don’t have a sharps container, you can use a hard plastic bottle, like a drink bottle, to store used needles before taking it to a pharmacy.

3. Visit a Local Pharmacy

Many pharmacies will accept used sharps for safe disposal. If you’re unsure where to go, ask your accommodation or search online for a nearby pharmacy.
