hi! I haven't been following this too attentively so apologies if it's already established, but I'm in UK, I asked my GP and they advised me to not attempt attaching the needle and thus put the needle attached to the syringe in the box (to avoid accidental injury from removing the needle) so... presumably they accept syringes as well? or maybe it is only with a needle attached... it's a small detail but I guess it may need clarification

Thanks for your confirmation.

    Syringes are not sharp. It’s the needle (which may be attached to
    a syringe) that is the issue


Do you or someone else happen to know what is allowed to throw into a bin labelled 'syringes'? I would have guessed needles and ampoules, but no other sharp waste such as scalpels.
