Due to the pandemic, disposal sites may be temporarily closed or altered their hours. We recommend calling or visiting the program website.
To assist patients with managing and disposing of used sharps, many pharmaceutical companies offer mail-back programs, which are often free of charge. Other companies provide FDA-cleared containers to patients who use medications that require sharps.
Below is a list of mail-back and container programs you may be eligible for, as well as contact info for patients to enroll in a program.
Please note that the patient must be actively taking the injectable medication and use the sharps container provided by the company to be eligible for each mail-back program.
