Thames Valley Police has launched knife amnesty bins across Windsor & Maidenhead, ahead of Operation Sceptre, the national week of action to tackle knife crime. This builds upon the success of other knife amnesty initiatives already operating effectively in other areas of the Thames Valley.
Working closely with Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, four community amnesty bins are being placed across neighbourhood areas, providing the opportunity to dispose of knives and bladed articles in a safe and legal way. Those using the scheme are asked that all knives are safely wrapped in tape and newspaper before placing in the bins.
There are four locations for the amnesty bins:
The Boy in the Boat statue, Maidenhead
Desborough Park, Maidenhead
Tesco, Dedworth Road, Windsor
Vansittart Skate Park, Windsor
A further amnesty bin is located at Maidenhead police station, as well as at several stations across the Thames Valley.
