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.

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

If you are unable to come to our office, 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, containers that could be returned to a store and avoid placing containers anywhere other than your trash can. It is important to prevent others from being injured by a needle stick.
