How do I properly dispose of sharps (i.e. needles, lancets, etc.)?

It is illegal to dispose of sharps in your trash.  You can properly dispose of these materials at the Waste Management Recycling Center at 2880 Industry Street. Please package these materials in a sealed red biohazard container or in a see-through hard container like a water bottle or milk jug with the top taped.  For more information on how to safely dispose of sharps at the Center or through a mail back program, please click here.
