Most of us will have used lateral flow test kits to dispose of, so please make sure they end up in the right place. The only parts of the kit that can be put in our recycling bins at home are the cardboard box, vial holder and the instruction leaflet. Used swabs, vials and the test itself must go into your general waste (and if you're unlucky enough to have a positive test, make sure any waste is securely bagged and don't put it out for collection for 72 hours).
