- When your sharps container is about 3/4 full, seal it securely.
- Keep your sharps containers out of reach of children and pets.
- Bring your filled sharps waste container to a County designated collection site.
DO NOT...
- Flush your sharps waste or medications down the toilet or drain.
- Place your sharps waste in the trash, green waste, or recycling bin.
- Put needles into used plastic milk jugs, bleach bottles, or soda bottles.
