Outreach and Education

Part of MED-Project's mission is to reach out to the local community and educate residents about the proper disposal of unwanted household medication and sharps.

Medicine helps treat diseases, manages chronic conditions, and improves health and well-being for millions of Americans. It is important that patients use their sharps as directed by their health care provider and as indicated on the label or packaging.

Safely disposing of household sharps is important. Sharps that are not disposed of safely may cause injury. Always be sure to store sharps securely to prevent accidental sticks or misuse by others, especially children, and dispose of sharps safely.

For more information on safe disposal, visit Safe Disposal Information.

For additional information on the program, MED-Project has developed an educational toolkit which includes the materials below.
