Never Put Sharps in Your Trash or Recycling

If you use needles, lancets, or other sharps at home, please don’t place them in your trash or recycling carts. Sharps in any pickup container pose a serious safety risk to our collection and sorting crews.

The good news is there’s a free solution.

California’s Sharps Mail-Back Program ships a 1.5QT FDA-cleared sharps container and a prepaid return shipping box directly to your door at no cost to you.

What’s accepted:

• Hypodermic, pen, and intravenous needles
• Lancets
• Other devices used to penetrate the skin
