[Margaret Pilkington]

Odders, not sure about the police near the station….but below the statue there is a secure knife surrender box.
This is not just for the surrender of knives used for criminal purposes, but can be used for anyone who has a domestic knife that needs safe disposal.
Yes of course you could put it in your recycling bin, but then how do you prevent harm to those people who deal with this type of waste…it could be a hazard to them.
I know that the few knives I have disposed of, my other half has cut off the blade and rendered it safer with an angle grinder….but a safe disposal box is a better idea.
