Diabetic Syringe (Sharps) Program Update

Are you a diabetic that needs a place to dispose of syringes?

The District has puncture proof containers available to individuals needing this type of assistance. Containers are available at the District office. Once a container has been filled, close the lid and place it in with your regular household garbage.

To obtain a container, call the District at
1-800-777-5462.

If you are unable to come to our office to receive a container, follow these guidelines to safely dispose of your sharps. Syringes may be landfilled as long as they are properly stored. Syringes must be placed in a strong plastic container with cap or lid that screws on tightly. Examples: plastic bleach jug or plastic liquid detergent bottle. Avoid glass containers, lightweight plastic containers and containers that could be returned to a store. A full container should be placed in your garbage can with the lid tightly secured.
