You can hand in weapons at your local police station. It is best to telephone the station first to let them know what you are bringing in. Find your nearest police station here.
 

If you can’t get to your local police station or you are unhappy to transport the items for disposal, the police can collect them. 
 

If you are worried about the condition of the items you have or are not quite sure about what you have in your possession, get in touch with your nearest station and they will be pleased to advise you.
 

Are you worried that you are in possession of something you shouldn’t have and have concerns about handing it in to the police? They receive many guns, ammunition, knives, swords and other weapons. If you make the effort to hand them in you will have acted responsibly and no action will be taken against you. If you retain something you shouldn’t have then you risk prosecution.
 

Please don’t throw weapons away, as they could end up in the wrong hands.
