Details
The government will be running a knife and weapons surrender arrangement across the West Midlands, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and London.
The arrangements will enable members of the public to anonymously surrender knives and other weapons. This will be either at a mobile surrender van operated by FazAmnesty, which will be operating from 4 August to 28 August in specific areas of the West Midlands and London or in 45 surrender bins installed by Word 4 Weapons with Home Office funding in specific areas of the West Midlands, London, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire.
No compensation will be offered for any knives or weapons surrendered or handed in as part of these arrangements.
