Medical Sharps
Medical sharps are objects, such as syringes, needles and
lancets that are used for insulin intake, blood samples and for
other medical purposes. Improper disposal of sharps can
pose a serious health and safety hazard. Medical sharps
should be placed in a thick plastic or metal container with a
tight fitting lid such as a bleach or liquid detergent bottle.
Once full, secure the lid with heavy-duty tape and write the
words "Not Recyclable" on the container with a black, permanent
marker. After following these steps, you can place the
container in your regular black trash barrel.
Prescription Drugs
Federal prescription drug disposal guidelines urge residents
to dispose of any unused, unneeded or expired medication in the
trash or take them to a pharmaceutical take-back location for
safe disposal. Residents are being asked to avoid throwing them
down the drain as the drugs may pass through sewage treatment
plants and septic tanks into surface waters, soils, and the
groundwater.
Water Based Latex Paint
If you have water based latex paint and can't wait until the
next Household Hazardous Waste Collection event, please follow
these simple steps for proper disposal.
- Remove the lid
from the paint can and let the paint completely dry.
- Once
it is dry, place the lid back on the container and dispose of it
in your black trash barrel. This will prevent the paint
from spilling on the street when the trash truck services your
barrel.
**NOTE: Oil based paint is not accepted in the
trash barrel and must be taken to a Household Hazardous Waste
Collection event.
