Got Sharps?

As you know household generated sharps cannot go in the trash, so what resources are available to the public generating sharps? The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) has materials on-line to help. Please feel free to inform your local government colleagues and facility operators of these following educational opportunities:

• Brochure-English (Adobe PDF, 134 KB) | Spanish (Adobe PDF, 122 KB)
• Mailer (Adobe PDF, 3.2 MB)
• Poster (Adobe PDF, 1.9 MB)
• Local Collection Centers

Another great way to stay informed about the latest developments in CIWMB’s efforts to promote safe disposal of sharps waste is to join the Sharps and Pharmaceuticals Listserv.
