Every year more than 2 billion needles and syringes are used in households nationwide, and most end up in trash or recycling containers or flushed down toilets, posing serious health risks to children, workers, wildlife and the general public.

"SHARPS" - are banned from Landfills and CANNOT be put in the trash.

Please put in sealed container such as a heavy-duty plastic or metal container with a tight-fitting lid or an FDA-approved sharps disposal container.
