If you have an unwanted blade, please use one of our four permanent knife bins across Lichfield and Burntwood. They’re safe, secure and available 24/7 for anonymous disposal. Every knife surrendered is one less that could cause harm. If you are worried about someone who may be carrying a knife, call 101, report it online on the Staffordshire Police website or anonymously via Crimestoppers. In an emergency always dial 999. Find out more about local knife bins.
