Here's How It Works

Please do not drop-off Sharps Containers before - or after - published hours and never dispose of sharps in your garbage or curbside recycling bins.   Sharps Containers must be returned to one of the designated disposal sites.  Please use the Sharps Container for needles, syringes, and lancets only.  Do not return any unsealed Sharps Container.  If the lid is defective, request a new lid when you return the container.  At the disposal site, give your Sharp Container to authorized personnel and never leave it unattended.   Keep the Sharps container clean, free from blood and remember that no other biomedical waste or red-bag waste will be accepted at these sites.  Only County Sharps Containers are accepted at these sites.  Please do not over-fill the Sharps Containers.  Responsible participation will encourage continued support at these drop-off sites.
