Does your household use medical sharps for a family member’s health condition? If so, don’t throw them in the garbage. Improper disposal could put household members, pets, housekeepers, janitors and municipal workers at risk of being harmed by needle stick injuries. Instead, take them to a pharmacy that participates in HPSA’s free take-back programs. By doing this, you ensure the proper collection and disposal of these items.
