Sharps Disposal

Sharps may no longer be thrown in the trash. The following are a few options to properly dispose of sharps.

  • Mail Back Service--Your local drugstore might carry mail-back containers. The price of this container includes the service for sending the needles back. A list of companies that provide mail-back services is available from the California Department of Health Services at (916) 449-5671.

  • Pharmacies--Some drug store chains take back their customers' needles, although large quantities might not be accepted.

  • Hospital Take Back--Hospitals might take back needles (sharps) from those patients who go to the hospital for regular outpatient services.
