Disposing of sharps

I am in London temporarily for medical work and am generating a sharp a day on injections. They go into a standard sharps box and I was wondering what procedures you have in the UK for disposing of a full box. The local pharmacy won't take them, nor will the doctor, and I was advised to "contact your local council."

I am quite happy to "Take my rubbish home with me," to coin a phrase but does anyone know of a simple procedure? Tying it to a brick into the Thames is not an option for me... :-)

Thanks
