How to Safely Dispose of a Knife
Disposing of a knife safely is an important step toward protecting our communities. Here’s a guide on how to dispose responsibly:
📍 Use the map above to find your nearest bin.
🚶 Travel safely — Wrap it securely in several layers of thick cardboard or paper, and seal it tightly with strong tape.
📦 Make sure the blade is fully covered and the knife cannot be easily accessed.
While it’s generally an offence to carry a knife or weapon in public, it may be considered reasonable if you are taking it directly to a knife bin and it is safely and clearly wrapped for disposal.
Do not
❌ Throw it in household bins or recycling
❌ Leave it outside or in public spaces
❌ Give it to someone else to dispose of (unless they’re trained and authorised)
