Amnesty bins will be available at music festivals across NSW in the wake of recommendations following a spate of drugs deaths.

"We believe amnesty bins are a good way to increase safety so young people, if they see police don't panic and have the opportunity without questions asked to throw those pills in the bin," NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.

They will be rolled out from December 28.

The premier defended her decision not to introduce pill testing at festivals, saying five of the six young people who died at events recently would not have been saved by testing.

Last month, Deputy State Coroner Harriet Grahame delivered 28 recommendations following an inquest into the six MDMA-related deaths.

She called for pill testing and urged NSW Police to stop using "harmful" sniffer dogs at festival gates.

The coroner said the government needed to look at the issue of drug use at festivals with "fresh eyes".

The inquest examined the deaths of Sydneysiders Nathan Tran, Joseph Pham and Callum Brosnan, Melbourne student Diana Nguyen, Brisbane teaching student Joshua Tam and Central Coast teen Alex Ross-King.

All were aged under 24, and took multiple MDMA capsules the day they attended NSW music festivals in the 13 months to January 2019.

Mr Tam died of complications of MDMA use, Mr Brosnan died of mixed drug toxicity and the rest died of MDMA overdoses.

She was backed by grieving parents and a former police boss.

But Ms Berejiklian said festival-goers need to take responsibility for themselves, and again urged people not to take drugs.

"Don't take those pills, that's the strongest message we can take to everybody," she said.

"We're doing everything we can to keep those festivals safe. There is an element of personal responsibility."

NSW Police minister, David Elliot, backed the amnesty plan, saying: "Amnesty bins give an opportunity for people that have made a bad decision turn it into a good decision.

"My message is clear, you should be aware that every pill, drug that you use could be a fatal dose."

NSW Health minister Brad Hazzard said he was satisfied the industry was working well with the government and said he believed music festivals were becoming safer.

What are amnesty bins?

Amnesty bins would be placed at the entrances to festivals, where police carry out checks.

They would allow anybody with drugs on them to dispose of them without any consequences.

Some festival-goers have previously overdosed on pills after taking them ahead of checks.
