Notes: Drop-off Location: Laboratory, Monday-Friday, 7am-5:30pm, Saturday, 8am-11am.
All medical sharps should be in a rigid, puncture-proof plastic container with a tight fitting screw top. A plastic bleach or detergent bottle will work. Glass bottles and jars should not be used. The container should be sealed and labeled "Used Sharps."
Hospitals and nursing homes in New York State are mandated by law to accept properly contained, home-generated sharps.
