Safely Manage your SHARPS WASTE |
- The safest way to dispose of sharps waste is to use only state-approved sharps containers. Check availability at the distribution sites or ask your pharmacist or doctor for one.
- If you use a plastic bottle, DO NOT use water bottles. They are made of plastic that will puncture. Use a clean bleach or detergent bottle. Seal the top with tape and label the container "SHARPS".
- Do not fill your container to the top, only until it is about 3/4 full. Seal it securely.
- Do NOT flush your sharps or medications down the toilet or drain.
- Do NOT place your sharps in the trash, green waste, or recycling bin.
- Keep your sharps containers out of the reach of children and pets.
Safely dispose of your sharps container by bringing it to any of the following collection sites:
- Los Angeles County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events
- AVECC in Antelope Valley
- City of Los Angeles' S.A.F.E. Centers
- Department of Public Health
