Notes: Drop-off Location: Laboratory, Monday-Friday, 8am-7pm, Saturday and Sunday,10am-2pm.
Drop off containers during the week at the lab and on weekends use the Emergency Department entrance. Place all used sharps in a strong, plastic container with a screw-on lid. Secure the lid with duct tape. Do not use thin-walled plastic recyclable containers or plastic coffee containers. Label all containers with name, phone number and address. You will be asked to place the container in a larger sharps receptacle located in or near the Laboratory Department.
Hospitals and nursing homes in New York State are mandated by law to accept properly contained, home-generated sharps.
