We are pleased to finally be able to offer disposal of sharps and medicine bins! Bins for both can be purchased from us in a range of sizes and the sale price will include the cost of disposal.
Sharps bins are available in sizes from 1L. The vets carry 5L or 7L bins so please have a look if you aren’t sure. A 5L sharps bin costs £16.07 including disposal (ex VAT). Medicine bins are available in sizes from 5 to 60L. A 60L bin costs £15.45 including disposal (ex VAT). Medicine bins are for syringes, medicine bottles and wormer bottles. If you use oxytocin, enzaprost or any other hormones on farm, these will need to go in separate designated bins available in 5L, 11L or 22L.
It is essential that all medicines, sharps and syringes are disposed of correctly and in the appropriate bins. You will be required to sign to say that this has been carried out in accordance with our guidance. If it is subsequently found that this guidance has not been followed, you will be charged for any costs incurred by the practice or the company that collects from us.
Bins will be picked up from farm by the vets but please do let Debbie know when booking routine calls so that vets can ensure they have space in their car to do this. If not, we may have to come and collect another day.
