Save a life – bin a knife. 

Today, Tuesday 11th February a knife amnesty bin has been installed at the Central Car Park, Tadcaster. 

The aim of the bins is not only to reduce knife crime, but to also give reassurance to people who simply want to dispose of unwanted knives and sharp objects – such as old kitchen knives, or unused work tools – safely and securely.

Taking a knife out of circulation in this way prevents it from ever falling into the wrong hands, helping to keep communities safer.

As well as disposing of knives safely, we need our communities to support us in giving information about those who carry them.

Please, do the right thing – you might save a life. Contact us on 101, through our website or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
