Disposal of Household Sharps Flyer

Disposal of Household Sharps

Place all sharps in a sharps disposal container immediately after they have been used. This will reduce the risk of needle sticks, cuts, and punctures from sharps.

Accepted: Sharps such as hypodermic needles, pen needles, intravenous needles, lancets, and other devices that are used to penetrate the skin for the delivery of mediations, contained in U.S. Food and Drug Administration-cleared sharps containers.

Please separate and remove any items that are not accepted before disposing.

Not Accepted: controlled substances (such as opioids), unwanted medicine separate from sharps, batteries, illicit or illegal drugs, and biologics (such as insulin).
