Details

This guidance sets out clear instructions on how you can surrender and dispose of knives and any offensive weapons by using a surrender bin near you.

During July 2025 a mobile surrender van will operate at the same time as the the ninja sword surrender and compensation scheme. The scheme starts on 1 July and closes on 31 July.
