🧡 A safe and anonymous place to surrender unwanted knives in Milton Keynes

One of our Wybone Knife Amnesty Bins is helping provide a permanent surrender point at the Town Hall, working as part of a wider initiative between the Town Council and Thames Valley Police.

For some people, taking an unwanted knife directly to a police station can feel daunting. Providing an accessible amnesty bin gives members of the community another way to safely and anonymously dispose of unwanted knives and other bladed items.

The Town Hall location is one of several knife amnesty points now available across Milton Keynes, helping make safe surrender more accessible throughout the area.

We're proud to see another Wybone product being used to support practical community safety initiatives across the UK. 👏

🇬🇧 Our Knife Amnesty Bins are designed and manufactured in the UK and can be customised with bespoke RAL colours, artwork and campaign branding.

Knife amnesty bin in Town Hall

The Town Council works closely with the local police to address issues within the parish and are always seek ways to support their valuable work.

Both Thames Valley Police and the Town Council understand that handing a knife directly to the police can be a daunting task to many people who may fear repercussions or questions. This is why a knife amnesty bin is installed at the Town Hall. This amnesty bin provides a safe and anonymous way for anyone to dispose of unwanted knives – including old kitchen knives and other sharp objects – helping to remove potential weapons from the streets and reduce knife crime, all without any immediate legal consequences.

The knife amnesty bin can be found just inside the main doors in the Town Hall reception area. It is bright orange so you cannot miss it!

Further knife amnesty bins in Milton Keynes can be found at the following locations:
▪️Grand Union Vineyard Church, Broadlands, Netherfield, MK6 4YP
▪️Milton Keynes Police Station, Witan Gate, CMK, MK9 2DS
▪️Frank Moran Centre, Melrose Avenue, West Bletchley, MK3 6PA
▪️Sycamore House, Drayton Road, Bletchley, MK2 3RR

If you have any information about the possession of knives, or criminal activity relating to this type of crime, please call 101 or alternatively you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

From our factory to the seafront🎨
These Apollo 1280L wheelie bin housings, manufactured by Wybone for Thanet District Council, have been transformed into incredible works of art as part of the local artist residency 'B'inspired’ project ♻️

Designed to conceal large wheelie bins, the Apollo range helps replace waste containers with attractive, durable street furniture. In this project, those practical housings have become colourful canvases, proving that even everyday recycling infrastructure can enhance the look and feel of a public space.

Manufactured from premium galvanised steel, the Apollo 1280L provides a secure, high-capacity waste solution while keeping wheelie bins hidden from view. With bespoke artwork, interchangeable apertures for different waste streams, and custom branding options, every unit can be tailored to complement its surroundings.

We're proud to have played a part in bringing this fantastic project to life, combining practical waste management with creativity and community pride. 👏

These are just a few from the collection,there are plenty more incredible designs to share next week, so keep an eye on our page! 🎨
