The Question:

How do I get rid my Medical Sharps?
(*Medical Sharps are hypodermic needs, lancets used to prick fingers to test blood, etc.)

 

The Answer:

PLEASE  DO NOT place sharps in your household garbage or recycling bin. Seminole County operates a free sharps disposal program for residents. You can pick up a sharps container at any Fire Station in the County, Seminole County Health Department, the Central Transfer Station or the Seminole County Landfill. We are required to only use our containers because they must be packed into special shipping cases. Return the full sharps container to one of our locations and you will be given a new container. There is no charge for this service. Due to worker safety policies, we are not permitted to transfer sharps from your container to ours. Again, this program is for sharps from private households only.
