One of the best disposal technique is to make use of an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container with hazard labels on the surface. This container may be dropped at your medical supplier (if accepting used sharps) or right here on the Well being Department.- Containers dropped at the Health Department will likely be disposed of properly, a $10 prompt donation to cover the cost of disposing is strongly advisable.

Please make every effort to use drop-off or mail in companies for protected disposal of sharps. Nevertheless, if these choices usually are not workable, sharps might be disposed of in family trash if and provided that they are packaged safely as described above. Please, never dispose of sharps in recycling bins and by no means dispose of sharps uncontained or loose within the trash.
