What to do with used sharps in Connecticut
Posted by Bnaclerio on Thursday, 13 July 2023
Put used sharps in a STRONG-PUNCTURE RESISTANT, plastic container such as an empty laundry detergent bottle
When the container is ¾ full, put the lid on, seal it with duct tape and label DO NOT RECYCLE!!
Put the plastic container in the household trash – DO NOT RECYCLE!
Sharps should never be thrown loosely into the trash or toilet.
Sharps that retract after use, or are very small, should be disposed of like all other sharps.
