It’s important to note that improper disposal of medical sharps poses a threat to recycling and trash workers as well as to our environment. Needles should not be tossed in the trash without proper containment and should never be put in the recycling bins.

Residents now have the option to recycle and properly dispose of their lancets, needles and other medical sharp waste in the safest way possible.

**Sharps MUST be in a medical container for disposal. We can no longer accept ANY sharps/needles in other types of containers.**
If you already have sharps in non-medical containers, you can take them to our HHW event in September. Click 'HERE' for details.

Sharps containers can be purchased for $3 at 15 Biddle St. by appointment. This fee will simply cover the cost of the container. Once the container is full, you can return the container for proper disposal at no additional fee. We currently have a limited supply until we measure the success rate of participation. Your patience is appreciated.

The service is available to Cass County residents only. This service is not available for health care providers or businesses.
