Time is running out for those of you who have not yet handed-in your prohibited items and want to be compensated. While the online notification system is unavailable, firearm holders can still attend a collection event and complete the buy-back process there. If you need a bulk-pick up of prohibited items, or you need to apply for Unique Prohibited or to have your firearm modified, please call 0800 311 311. If you can¡¯t make a collection event, hand-in at your local Police station.
